Integrating GSoC students' code

Hi everyone.

Ivan and Jasleen, the two Google Summer of Code students
working on
Batik, are starting to write some code now.  I’m wondering
what the best
way of integrating their work would be.  Ideally (in my
mind), they
would each have a branch to commit code to, as that would
give them more
experience working directly with the project, rather than
having their
own, separate checkout of the code that they work on.  Is
that possible?
If not, what’s the best way to keep abreast of their
contributions?

Thanks,

Cameron

After some discsusion, I think it’s best if we start off
just by having
you guys submit patches.  You should create an entry in
Bugzilla each
for your work, and periodically attach a new patch to the
bug.

This is the way regular contributions to Apache projects are
accepted
(starting off with patches, then after proven good work, an
invitation
to become a committer would be extended).

To include your code in the Batik codebase though, you’ll
have to sign
and submit an Individual Contributor License Agreement:

ache.org/licenses/icla.pdf

You may as well submit this now, so there isn’t any hassle
later on when
we come to incorporate your code.

Thanks,

Cameron
