Hi All,
Hi,
some of you may receive emails stating that you had a certain module
in
excess of 48 hours, even though you didn't. If that's the case, simply
ignore the email.
I'm in that case ;-)
We only now started tracking when somebody is taking a
module. If you had it for a long period, please consider what's stated
in the email though.
We simply added a mechanism that allows us to release translators if
they held a module for a certain period of time, without having done a
commit.
For the first run, I simply assumed the time of last commit as the time
the module was taken, of course, I am not going to release anyone just
now. :)
But I will put it to discussion of what a good time period is? We
already had some suggestions ranging from 24 hours to 1 week in normal
development and 2 hours to 1 days towards the end of a release cycle.
Contributions are very welcome! :)
I would say as long as no one 'claims' the module, there shouldn't be an
auto-release mechanism. For example, if someone works on a file and forgets
to commit it, and someone claims the module, he/she will have time to commit
his/her changes before the other person [Take]s the module, rather then
auto-releasing it and loosing the work done (above-all if we're taling about
2 hours time ;-).
