Tim, All,
Come to think of it, we should have an incoming ftp area. But I wouldn't
want to advertise it, unless we want to run a porn site!
They can also attach stuff on bugzilla I think. I will see about removing
the user registration from it.
Steve.

My main objection concenrs submitting patches. Asking people to submit tar
balls to ussc@starlink doesn't seem to be the right thing to do in this
era.
Can I suggest the following:
1. Use the general starlink mailing list at jiscmail for submissions
of patches (so we all see them).
2. Ask them to send small patches in unified diff format in the email so
that it is easy to see what has been modified without having to extract a
file from a tar ball and run diff myself?
This would result in more open public discussions of patching (maybe
giving peopole confidence that discussions are happening) and easier for
everyone to jump in and comment.
Or is the current plan for Steve to take the submitted tar balls, convert
them to diffs and forward them to stardev?
