<p>7. Preferred development model</p>
<p> [X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the<br> project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to<br> CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.</p>
<p> [ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or<br> multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one<br> or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,<br>
"main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is<br> well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code<br> entering the main tree.</p>
<p> If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some<br> shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,<br> as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an individual<br>
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the<br> tree for you.</p>
<p>8. Set up a project mailing list:</p>
<p> [ X] Yes, named after our project name<br> [ ] Yes, named ______________________<br> [] No</p>
<p> When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew<br> a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project<br> on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and<br>
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of<br> messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can<br> trivially create a separate mailing list for you.</p>
<p> If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many<br> mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to<br> stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists<br> later.</p>
<p>9. Commit notifications</p>
<p> [X ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list<br> we chose to create above<br> [ ] A separate mailing list, <projectname>-git, should be created for commit<br> notifications<br>
[] No commit notifications, please</p>
<p>10. Shell accounts</p>
<p> As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless<br> there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and<br> list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.</p>
<div>11. Translation<br> [X] Set up the <a href="http://laptop.org/" target="_blank">laptop.org</a> Pootle server to allow translation commits to be made<br> [ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at _______________</div>
