Re: [PDO] Re: PDO 2: Request for Comments

Bill,

I observed that php.net also places some restrictions and conditions on who can commit, and what contributions can be committed. Not only by the mechanism of CVS privileges, but also as a development process, reviewing and vetting the changes.

Yes. It prevents stupid errors going in. If you and your code are unknown, your best bet is to send in a patch - and keep doing that until you have a reputation for good work.

Obviously, PHP is open-source, so therefore it is false that restricting who can commit makes a project not open-source.

There's a difference between restricting access on grounds of technical ability (as happens now) or on which company you happen to work for (as is proposed).

That's my point. That this particular argument against the CLA for PDO is not supportable, and PHP itself is a counter-example.

I see that argument as BS - sorrybut :)

I do not advocate forking any code.

I'm very glad to hear it. - Steph
