In any case I want to Well, with the risk of sounding harsh, people not motivated enough to go through some filtering process (at least prove some commitment to the team/project, or be aware that their commit right might be revoked at any given time because they're not doing a good job) shouldn't be part of the team. Don't get me wrong, I am all for a low barrier entry, but I feel that people aproving/advocating the entry must be the ones responsible (or find such people) for the close eye on the new commer. Te seems to me we don't need yet another NM process, but we need experienced people to commit to watching and mentoring new commers. And since there are so few of us admins (myself, Miriam, Gonéri and Sam) I have just added Gerfried to the admins list. > decide a way to cope as a team with this kind of situation if it > happens again.

Well, I guess the people that allow the entry should also be responsible for the monitoring of the first commits, as I said before. If not, a "sponsor" should be found inside the team before adding. By "sponsor" I mean a person within the team that agrees to tutor and watch over the newcommer's sholder commits and changes and is ready to commit to doing that for a while until he/she feels the newcommer has accumulated enough knowledge to stop direct and constant watching. This doesn't mean that: - at a later time is not possible to restore permanent watch - there can't be comments/reviews from other than the soponsor - once in, you can't be ruled out -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
