The state of our svn is partly to blame. We need a big
whitespace cleanup. There is a mixture of tabs and spaces
and there is trailing whitespace. We should clean it up
a section at a time, when people are not working on
that section.

Geez, OK I finally figured out my whitespace issue.  I had changed my 
editor to match the document (2 soft space tabs and 80 char hard wrap) 
but it was also set to remove trailing whitespaces on save and most of 
that file had trailing whitespaces so the whole thing got screwy.  I 
changed that setting and redid the diff and it looks much better now.  
Sorry I have been submitting such crazy patches, but I think I have it 
worked out now.  I will put the new diff up now.

I totally agree. It's easy to spout of on a mailing list, not so easy to 
collate those thoughts into a sensible document. This is a fantastic 
contribution. Thank you.

     Resolution: Fixed

Wow, Addi, you are a champ. This is one of the most important documents that we could have on our website. Thanks for doing such a nice job of converting that mail list discussion. We need more of that type of effort.

I left this issue open for a while because there sure to be more changes. There is another discussion happening on a related topic. Anyway

I added your patch as-is, except that i converted tabs to two-space. I also folded long lines into about 80-characters wide. The reason for this is very important. I am now going to proceed to make some minor changes and you will see via the commit diffs (see www.mail-archive.com if you are not subscribed). If each paragraph was one enourmous long line, then it would be difficult to know the changes. (Yes i am adding stuff like that to a new "how to be a developer" document.)

I have left this issue open for a while because there are sure to be more changes. The discussions are not finished.

    Attachment: committed.xml.diff

Added the bit about responsibilities and expectations from the simple committership discussion (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=112264400723085&w=2).  The diff seems to show lots of changes that aren't changes... but anyway.
