Working with GitHub

[Christian Grobmeier <gr...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

i am currently documenting a way people can contribute using github.
Basically its all pretty easy with one exception: people cannot send us
pull requests
when they work with the official Struts mirror:

https://github.com/apache/struts2

I mean, they can send them to us, but currently there is no way we can
close them.

To over come this i propose the Struts team creates a so-called GitHub
organization.
All PMC members can become owner, all committer can become write access
just by asking.
We follow here the (inofficial) recommendations on the usage of other
social media tools like Twitter.

We would then document people should send their pull requests to the
Struts team. It is just important to know that the official mirror will
reflect all of our changes automatically, while we need to synchronize
the Struts team repos manually. that said, users can sync themselves
with the mirror and would get the latest changes on their own.

Thoughts?

What can I say? Go ahead :-) Each improvement in that area is
valuable. Maybe we can be added to Apache organisation directly?
