Re: [PyDB2-discuss] New release on sourceforge?

[Dan S. <de...@gm...>]

Hi Yuval, Man-Yong:

Any chance of that 1.0 release happening?

Also, it would be a really nice follow-up if Man-Yong could produce
the win32 binaries for the relatively recent Python 2.4 release.

When you start developing the 1.1 branch, would you consider
instituting a basic Contributor License Agreement (CLA) like Eclipse
and Apache do? The CLA is a legal process that asks would-be
contributors & the contributors' employers to sign off on a form
stating that the code they are contributing is rightfully theirs to
contribute -- basically a way of avoiding any contributions from shady
sources.

My employer is a bit wary of projects that don't hava a CLA process,
so I can't be too useful to the effort without it :( Unless you call
sending requests and little reminder notes to the mailing list
useful...

Dan
