Developer Log
=============

This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge.

The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access
and why.

The first entry starts in April 2005.  In keeping with the style of
Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top.  Any markup should
be in the form of ReST.  Entries should include the initials of the
project admin who made the change or granted access.  Feel free to revise
the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise.


Permissions History
-------------------

- George Yoshida (SF name "quiver") added to the SourceForge Python
  project 14 Apr 2006, by Tim Peters, as a tracker admin.  See
  contemporaneous python-checkins thread with the unlikely Subject:

      r45329 - python/trunk/Doc/whatsnew/whatsnew25.tex

- Ronald Oussoren was given SVN access on 3 Mar 2006 by NCN, for Mac
  related work.

- Bob Ippolito was given SVN access on 2 Mar 2006 by NCN, for Mac
  related work.

- Nick Coghlan requested CVS access so he could update his PEP directly.
  Granted by GvR on 16 Oct 2005.

- Added two new developers for the Summer of Code project. 8 July 2005
  by RDH.  Andrew Kuchling will be mentoring Gregory K Johnson for a
  project to enchance mailbox.  Brett Cannon requested access for Flovis
  Bruynooghe (sirolf) to work on pstats, profile, and hotshot.  Both users
  are expected to work primarily in nondist/sandbox and have their work
  reviewed before making updates to active code.

- Georg Brandl was given SF tracker permissions on 28 May 2005
  by RDH.  Since the beginning of 2005, he has been active in discussions
  on python-dev and has submitted a dozen patch reviews.  The permissions
  add the ability to change tracker status and to attach patches.  On
  3 June 2005, this was expanded by RDH to include checkin permissions.

- Terry Reedy was given SF tracker permissions on 7 Apr 2005 by RDH.

- Nick Coghlan was given SF tracker permissions on 5 Apr 2005 by RDH.
  For several months, he has been active in reviewing and contributing
  patches.  The added permissions give him greater flexibility in
  working with the tracker.

- Eric Price was made a developer on 2 May 2003 by TGP.  This was
  specifically to work on the new ``decimal`` package, which lived in
  ``nondist/sandbox/decimal/`` at the time.

- Eric S. Raymond was made a developer on 2 Jul 2000 by TGP, for general
  library work.  His request is archived here:

Permissions Dropped on Request

Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The tests that are expected to break are: test_codecencodings_cn test_codecencodings_hk test_codecencodings_jp test_codecencodings_kr test_codecencodings_tw test_codecs test_multibytecodec This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch, though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway. 2006-04-21 18:40:58 +08:00			`- George Yoshida (SF name "quiver") added to the SourceForge Python`
