Send all that - including a blank cheque to us (ask for the address on - gphoto-devel@gphoto.org). - - - - - Try to figure out how to get gphoto2 working on Windows - and send us the patches. - - - - - - - - - I wanna have CVS write access. How do I get one? - - - - We provide CVS write access to persons that show - continued interest in a - specific part - of gphoto2. - If there is already a person maintaining this - specific part of gphoto2 (i.e. a camera driver), we prefer you - submit patches to the maintainer who will then check them in - or request modifications. - - - - - - - You took away my CVS write access! What did I do - wrong? - - - - - If your name is not listed in gphoto2/MAINTAINERS, and if we - haven't heard from you lately, we assume that you finished - your work on gphoto2 and that you don't need write access any - longer. If this is not the case, please contact one of the - project admins. - - - - - -- cgit v1.2.1
