IP Log, etc.

Fellow Nebula Devs,

Does anyone know where the IP Log for Nebula is kept? 
According to the 
Eclipse rules, we should track all contributions in a
central file of 
some kind.  We'll need to submit this if we ever get to a
Release 
Review.  I hunted around the CVS and couldn't find it. 
Should I start 
one separately for CDateTime?  Thanks.

og.php

P.S. I talked with the head legal honcho at EclipseCon about
this issue, 
and she confirmed that an IP log entry is still necessary
even if the 
contribution is less than 250 lines.  Up to this point, I
had been 
ignoring this because all of the patches I've committed are
below the 
limit.  According to her, BugZilla can be our safety net to
track the 
necessary info, but we still need to have the single
reportable tracking 
file for everything.  Also, because we are not yet compliant
with the 
incubation rules, all contributions over 250 lines must pass
the full 
IPZilla process before they are committed.  If we get
compliant, we'll 
be able to use the parallel IP process -- commit first and
ask questions 
later.

Hi Peter,

AFAIK there is no IP log for Nebula. I talked with Janet
Campbell  
about it at "Eclipse Now You Can" but I did not
have the time to  
create one since that.
I'm also ready to create an IP log for Gallery, I guess it's
better  
to create one log per component.

If I'm not mistaken, in Platform UI we keep track of this by
tagging 
bugs as "contributed" when there are code
contributions from outside the 
Eclipse membership.  As I understand it, the bylaws only
require us to 
track contributions so that IP is clearly delineated--it
does not 
mandate where or how that log is constituted.  So it could
just as 
easily be in a special file in CVS as in tags in Bugzilla. 
This is just 
my understanding though--check with Eclipse legal to be
sure.

We could also use the wiki, like EclipseLink. I've started
this  
page : http://w
iki.eclipse.org/Nebula_Gallery_IPLog (work in progress)
