[ace-users] Submitting code to ACE

[Paul Marquis]

We have written an extension to the ACE_Thread_Manager that I think
we be useful for the ACE community at large. How does one submit
changes to ACE?

You post the extension to the newsgroup where it gets reviewed
by the community at large. If you have new files you can send the
whole file. If you have diffs to exisiting files you are better
of posting a unified diff to the newsgroup.

If there are lots of changes, you can give a URL and the community
would review them and let you know. After that one of the souls
at the doc_group would volunteer to integrate them to ACE. If you
can stick to ACE coding guidelines, the whoel process would go
smoothly.

Great!

In addition to Bala's most excellent advice, please note this part of the
