Note regarding feature requests
Hi all,
A number of feature requests have been submitted by the user community since the release of Pivot 2.0. This is really good to see. A lot of great ideas have been coming in, and entering them in JIRA ensures that they don't get lost or forgotten.
However, Pivot is an open-source project, and like many such projects, it has limited resources. If you want to see a new feature implemented, the best way to make sure that it gets done is to code it yourself and submit a patch. It is not as difficult as you might think, and the developer list is a great place to ask questions. Community involvement is what keeps open-source projects alive.

+1 from me.
Don't be shy about adding things to JIRA, but feel free to sound out ideas
on the developer mailing list first.

Patches should be submitted as enhancement requests in JIRA.

SVN is the "official" source control system at the ASF. There has been some discussion about supporting Git, but I don't believe it is currently an option.

Greg:
1) can you please let me know if you have code submission guidelines?
2) apart from dumping patches to the mail lists?
3) do you think conversion of pivot from svn to git (or other
distributed repo)
would allow for easier submissions for one-time authors
as well as easier acceptance by you, real committers?
Thank you,
Andrei.
