That's the idea yes, and we have a pretty frequent publication schedule.
Our current source control system only allos 20 users, and all users have
full read and write rights, so it's just not an option to allow everyone
direct access to it. We also find it would generate more "support"
requests, as many users expect all pieces of a download to just work. If
you have a specific library you want to work on, you can always apply for
membership in the workspace. We have never rejected anyone who specifically
requested it because they had something to contribute. So if you want to
work on the library and publish fixes and work back to the source
repository, we've got amechanism for that to happen. If you'd like to know
more, just email us.
