Hey guys, I just wanted to nominate Jeremy McAnally for commit rights to Rails. While most of his patches are documentation, he has done significant, coton the documentation (including writing pretty much all the docs for ARes). Some of his accepted patches are below, if you want to confirm the veracity of my statement. Bottom line, the inclusion of a doc-writer in the group of committers can only help improve the Rails documentation :) http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/7106 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/7098 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6689 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6688 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6674 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6471 -- Yehuda Katz Web Developer | Procore Technologies (ph) 718.877.1325 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

I process the documentation patch report (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/report/20) and apply/amend/reject the doc patches. If you have questions about your documentation patch I can be the go to guy to ask. Anyone else on the core team can of course help you but feel free to ask me :) marcel -- Marcel Molina Jr. <marcel@vernix.org> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

Marcel, My nomination came as a result of a comment by DHH yesterday that people who have consistently contributed good work be given commit access. I believe Jeremy fits that bill and am therefore nominating him.

On another note, lifo, Form, and manfred-s might be considered as well.

We''ve been talking about this kind of thing for a while now, and I''m not entirely sure that such a public forum is the place to have these discussions. There''s definitely scope for adding a few more people with commit rights, but I think the more effective way forward is to continue to merge and apply patches in a timely manner.

> On another note, lifo, Form, and manfred-s might be considered as > well.I think it''s okay to nominate folks in here. But it needs to be more than just dishing out a name. Nominations should at least include a top 5-10 of star patches, duration of involvement, preferably some additional background on the person (like link to blog, forum activity, other code contributions, like plugins), as well as a highlight of any special areas of expertise or interest (like internationalization, Action Mailer reform, etc). And we should probably run 1 thread per person. And of course, there''s no guarantee that a nomination automatically leads to core membership. But it''ll certainly shine a bright light on the person. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

DHH, I honestly just threw in some additional names so it didn''t look like I was gunning for a particular individual. That said, I stand by my original nomination of Jeremy, and did including patches, and will put together the rest of the "portfolio" later today. Koz, I specifically nominated Jeremy in here at the request of DHH :-D -- Yehuda On Nov 6, 2007 2:53 PM, DHH <david.heinemeier@gmail.com> wrote:> > > On another note, lifo, Form, and manfred-s might be considered as > > well. > > I think it''s okay to nominate folks in here.

Ok, here''s more info about Jeremy: Jeremy has been contributing patches since March ''06, and won (#1) the original CDBaby Hackfest. He''s still the #6 contributor for 2007. He worked on the Rails Documentation Project, rewrote all of the documentation for ActiveResource and ActionView (see patches above) He wrote two books about Ruby (including Ruby in Practice by Manning) and is working on one about Rails. He wrote DCOV (a RubyCentral SoC project), which allows you to search your code for documentation coverage He spoke at Goruco, Ruby East, and RubyConf, and organized the Ruby Hoedown (a regional Ruby conference). Bottom line is that he''s been extremely active in both the Ruby and Rails community, and specialized in documentation (see Ruby Doc project, documentation patches, dcov, and bookwriting), which would be extremely helpful to have on the group of Rails committers.

But we''re still looking to get a few more code contributors into code as well. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
