Instructions on usage

...

Generally, the rules are such...

• If you want commit rights or to add your own project code, email the developers list and someone will work to give you access. (You will only be given commit rights to your new project's SVN directory).
• Any projects can be added here (once you are given access), but you must maintain your own project code. The committers will not maintain your code for you, unless it should become part of out-of-the-box DSpace (see ContributionGuidelines)There is no fine grained access control so "be careful" and don't change others work without talking about it first.
• Ask about project structure etc, we are working to try to organize the space so it stays clean.
• If you want commit rights, email the developers list with your GoogleCode account and you will be addedObsolete, out-of-date or unmaintained projects may be removed at the committers discretion. We will attempt to notify you before your project would be removed.

Project Structure

• Addon/Module Projects - Projects that are designed to "add on" to dspace without altering core libraries.
• Prototypes Prototypes are [Prototype Projects|http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/ - Prototypes are usually branches of the core codebase, where experimental development of the core codebase can happen
• Team Custom build plugins that are part of the DSpace build process.
• Read Only Mirror The Mirror is an automated sync with the S.F. repository and off limits to commits by regular users.. Oftentimes these projects are unstable. If they become widely accepted and stable, they will usually be moved to either the Addon/Module Projects or the Primary Codebase (Trunk)
