[Vtigercrm-developers] Please help - How does the Open Source development works about VTiger?

Marian,

We have approved your project now.

Adam,

I think I've suggested this before, but give a subset of the community
pre-release

We will continue to give pre-release access to the code (vtiger6 code will
be shared within few days time, while the release will be in December at
the earliest). As to sharing code even earlier (i.e., half baked code) with
some senior members, i am not yet certain of the benefits. We will continue
to look for ways to give early insight (with vtiger6, we started sharing
the mockups early in the design cycle).

Regards,
Sreenivas
