Users - appreiciation and perspective was JOB _SANDBOX

Is it possible to set up and allow more applications
under version control and more community based commit
privilages either in the ofbiz repository or another
one?  Obviously anyone can create their own svn
repository and share, but I'm thinking one that's more
ofbiz community focused.  One that is similar to the
svn repository that ofbiz currently uses but that is a
bit more free in granting commit privilages to
distribute some of the burden and make it easier to
share approaches. Especially in applications that
build off of Ofbiz as opposed to changing the core or
outer core of Ofbiz.  Can we put it to a vote?  Or
does a vote matter as it does entail resources?

The best place to put these sorts of changes is in
Jira new feature  
"issues". If you don't feel your patch is up to snuff,
but it is  
helpful for you, just write out your thoughts. These
sorts of patches  
may not make it into the project right away, but what
would be  
_ideal_ for these and all patches is for people to try
them out and  
comment on them, and where possible improve them.

I guess the main point with this sort of thing is that
you never know  
where it will go... We've tried out all sorts of
things over the  
years. Some have been thrown out (yeah, many tens of
thousands of  
lines of code) and others have blossomed and fit
together in ways we  
never even expected... all because through wide
collaboration ideas  
can flow more freely and lots of people reviewing
something will come  
up with stuff that is a lot better than any individual
could ever  
come up with.

This sort of thing already exists in the "specialized" directory.  
These are meant to be applications or components that sit on OFBiz,  
and those who contribute the original code plus those who want to  
work on them are given commit privileges. These are less controlled  
than the core OFBiz code and are not really kept up to date or  
maintained unless the original author or others using it do so. Well,  
I guess that's a kind of silly thing to say because that is true of  
pretty much all of OFBiz... ;)

The most active one right now is the Open Travel System that Hans  
Bakker has written and maintains.

I have made a test page in Web tools
it is for customer confidence and real time testing for the developer.
Each link on the main page goes to test for a particular area, such as
UPS, and USPS.

some test forms have default info to test a section.


I don't see this as a specialized thing, but more a Jira.

Question, I would like submit each test page as a separate JIRA and let
the person fold it into their web tools, is this kosher?

BJ,

Jira seems like a good place for these so people can review them.  
Because of the volume of issues going through Jira I'd rather see  
these in one issue unless there are so many that this would be  
cumbersome, and in that case perhaps grouping them somehow would be  
better.

Ok will submit one JIRA and let the powers to be work out any other
format :)
