Hey Asser,

I think the main goal of Soc was to get more people
involved in open source development.  To that end I
think it has been a great success (at least I can say
that for Samba).  We have an extremely high percentage of
people that have expressed interest in continuing their
work beyond the project deadlines.

I can't speak for Steve personally but new developers
are always a good thing :-)

We are trying to figure out how to support people
that want to continue working on Samba.org projects.
While the actual mechanism may evolve some, I don't
see any need to change the existing samba.org ssh
or email accounts.

What I would like to do long term is to move people
off of temporary branches.  To that end we are examining
more distributed SCM tool chains such as what is used
by the kernel community (not GIT per say but a similar
model).

You and Steve can work out the best model for handling
future work.  I image that people working on the samba
svn trees will probably move to svk eventually.
svk (http://svk.elixus.org/) is a set of perl scripts for
mirroring and managing svn repos.





cheers, jerry
