[IronPython] Why not post patches?

[Garth T Kidd]

Given it'll be a) low traffic, and b) completely temporary until Jim
finishes moving and figuring things out with Microsoft, we could even use
someplace like http://www.cvsdude.org/ to host a repository of IronPython
tweaks.

Does anyone have a subversion repository we can reach? It'd be a nightmare
with CVS, but with subversion it'd be a doddle to import Jim's code and give
all you IronPython doddlers the ability to dynamically add and remove your
own alternative branches. 

I should emphasise the idea is *not* to branch IronPython, but to maintain
an easy-to-work-with repository of the fixes developed by Keith, Curt, and
Edd (makefiles are fixes, too!) et al, and tools as developed by Johan et
al.

...which sort of begs another question: If there is to be an 'IronPython
project' ( yes! ) how will that work? Does Jim have time or inclination to
manage this? Should someone else / some group step in / should there be a
process for making decisions like that?

I mean, someone could just start a sourceforge project ( assuming
sourceforge is working again ) but that may not be Jim's preference, or that
of other interested people.

cheers, JeffG ( just playing the devil's advocate here )
