Contributing a new project

[David Allison]

Hi all,

I have developed a new prototyping/scripting language that is available 
as open source under
the Sun Public License.  I was wondering how I would go about getting it
accepted for incorporation into the Fedora project.

In particular, is there an approval process to go through?  And if so, 
how do I
get involved with it.

Any information/advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks but that page specifies how you go about using CVS etc, but
what I really wanted to know was how I go about getting it approved.

Am I right in thinking that I can just upload my project into the CVS
repository?

Surely there has to be somebody who determines what goes in there?

That is covered, too. Please read the page again. If the page is not
clear, file a bug report at http://bugzilla.redhat.com

Dave,

Fedora Core is not as open as Red Hat made it out to be.  They still want 
control over the distro so that they can maintain legacy Red Hat.  Now, if 
you if your scripting language can magically patch in half the current time 
it takes now to maintain legacy crap,  I'm sure it would get included.  Red 
Hat is still thinking backards.

It depends which part of the Fedora project.

Fedora Extras (http://fedora.us/) has a Submission & QA policy from the 
home page.

To be included in Fedora Core, the language would need to be in wide use, 
which probably isn't the case just yet.

Elliot,

Just what I was looking for.  Thanks a lot.

And you are entirely correct, the language is not in wide use at the
moment, but I hope that will change.

I'll work on the QA and submission requirements.

Cheers,

Dave
