contributions is pointless (and annoying to contributors!) if we can't<br>
manage to get them incorporated into trunk. If DVCS will make code easier<br>
to incorporate, by encouraging contributors to iterate on patches, then we<br>
should certainly do so. Given the feedback you and others have given that<br>
seems at least worth trying.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My apologies if I misunderstood what you were saying. If we can make it easier to iterate that would address 95% of my current frustrations with the process of contributing.</div>

But the Twisted code standards are high and usually have a high number of iterations to get any fix in...if we can get out of the stone age of shuffling patch files around and get to some form of push/pull system that would reduce a lot of my heartburn about "do this...OK looks good...now do this too and integrate with ticket XYZ...great almost there...I think you should do this now too...".</div>
