grub-dev: Typical Developer Experience
4.2 Typical Developer Experience
================================
The typical experience for a developer in this project is the following:
1. You find yourself wanting to do something (e.g. fixing a bug).
2. You show some result in the mailing list or the IRC.
3. You are getting to be known to other developers.
4. You accumulate significant amount of contribution, so copyright
assignment is processed.
5. You are free to check in your changes on your own, legally
speaking.
At this point, it is rather annoying that you ought to ask somebody
else every change to be checked in. For efficiency, it is far better,
if you can commit it yourself. Therefore, our policy is to give you the
write permission to our official repository, once you have shown your
skill and will, and the FSF clerks have dealt with your copyright
assignment.
