This was meant to encourage the breakdown of inter-project boundaries etc. You would still have to go through the same process to apply any major patches but for minor brain dead fixes (like what the last two things on Avalon ;-]) you could just jump in and make changes yourself. I was thinking that you (and any other alexandria/gump developers) could prove to be a useful test case. ie If you were to get full across the board access it may be useful because you could reduce the communication overhead etc. I think Alexandria/gump is a perfect test case as it cuts across all projects etc. If that was a success then we could move to allow the various tribes commit access on their code bases. ie turbine/jetspeed/jyve would form one tribe as would avalon/james/cocoon etc (I know they aren't all at jakarta so this may not work for these cases). At each test stage we could expand the notion of tribe (ie I assume that velocity and turbine developers would intermix at next stage). Until there is only one tribe - Jakarta. Thoughts ?
