<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi!<br>
<br>
If there's no one else, I volunteer to be the v4 Linus.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have the exact same position as a
lot of other people wrote about here - basically my own fork of v4.2.3,
and I'm now working to get my patches compatible with v4.2.4 so as to get
back to the main trunk. And it's a lot of work, which I need to trade with
my basic task - which is supporting several customers we have on vTiger.
I hope I will have my set of patches (there might be up to 100 of them,
as it's looking right now :) ready in a week or so.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I belive we as vTiger Dev team should
provide more support for 4.2.x stream -> I guess that almost ALL of
vTiger's "real world" users use that right now. And they might
go for v5 when it's stable, but that won't be (in my experience) for at
least 6 months after it's released.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you want me, I'm here. Just give
me a direction to start in, and I (and my three colleagues here) can be
reviewing submitted work in no time. And discussing it with you the team
here to get decissions on include/reject.<br>

well, up to you ;-)<br>
(I mean, up to the outside comunity, vtiger core team is heavely focused
en V5)<br>

<br>
unfortunely, there is no local linus,<br>
mike fedyk was doing a terrific job on maintaining v4, but then he dissapeared,<br>
and then Philip and Allan Bush were trying to help, but I imagine they<br>
are in lack of time...<br>
<br>
you can be the linus of v4 if you want...<br>
it's a meritocracy (it's that spelled correctly ?)<br>
<br>
><br>
> I agree - and the best way to do that is to be RESPONSIVE.<br>
<br>
the problem is there is NO one that can respond about v4,<br>
the core team is working full on v5...<br>
and v4 has no Linus (at least with enough time)...<br>
