Contrib SVN is now open

[Hamilton Verissimo]

Meaning that anyone, without an username/password can commit things
there. We're going to try this for a while and see what happens. If
anarchy doesnt wont we will fallback to the way it was.

I hope it works, though.

Won't that become painful for knowing who committed what when you look through the logs?

Could it work better using JIRA/donjon usernames with blank passwords? And have a process on a schedule that recreates the users, not sure how apache is set up.

+1 for open access
+1 for matching commits with some kind of identity.

I've said about the same thing on the PCM list, this was Hammett's response:
'Is there something that can be used for that (besides Crowd)? I dont
want to invest time building anything.'

He has a point. So, who *wants* to invest time ;-)

[Gökhan Altınören]

Yes, he has a point :)

Isn't it something like:
- Get user names from a db (donjon)
- Update somewhere in a text file (svn)
- Runs periodically

I also don't have time but I'll try to invest some somewhere in the next 30 days.

Hamilton, how are the credentials set up for the castle svn? I assume it is using apache's basic authentication method.

If so, we could attempt to run htpasswd programatically:
htpasswd -md C:\...\svn-auth-file userNameToAdd

Or just rebuild the whole file using something like this article:

Well, like I said I dont want to invest time. Opening the contrib was
a way to save time - not having to set up accounts.
