6. Committer list
  Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only list
  developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your
  project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list
  non-committer developers.

7. Preferred development model

  [X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
      project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
      CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.

  [ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
      multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
      or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
      "main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
      well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code
      entering the main tree.

  If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
  shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,
  as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an individual
  feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the
  tree for you.

8. Set up a project mailing list:

  [ ] Yes, named after our project name
  [ ] Yes, named ______________________
  [X] No

  When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
  a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
  on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
  potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
  messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
  trivially create a separate mailing list for you.

  If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
  mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
  stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
  later.

9. Commit notifications

  [ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
      we chose to create above
  [ ] A separate mailing list, <projectname>-git, should be created for commit
      notifications
  [X] No commit notifications, please

10. Shell accounts

  As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless
  there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and
  list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.

11. Translation
  [X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation
commits to be made
  [ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at _______________
