Description

[Tristan Miller]

I'd like CVS account access.  I'm interested in contributing to the Mozilla
browser and also to the Mozilla website.  I have already mailed (not faxed) the
CVS Contributor Form.  I will start working on some patches soon (must finish
thesis first). ;)

Tristan: If you want docs access for now, you will need to get a voucher. CVS
Write access requires a voucher and 3 SRs.

I have received your form. It would be helpful to know which areas of the
mozilla.org website you are interested in working on and whether you are
interested in doing this on an ongoing basis.

Understood about the vouchers.  At the moment I'm interested mostly in fixing
small problems (bad links, etc.) anywhere on the site as I notice them.  So yes,
on an ongoing basis, albeit sporadically.  Later on (after I finish my thesis in
a few months) I may be interested in taking on larger jobs, with the website
and/or browser coding.

I'll vouch for Tristan to get access to the webtree for typo/spelling/link
fixing, etc. (note that if you're making any substantial changes you'll need to
have the permission of the page author or maintainer).

Tristan, access to the code tree is more heavily restricted. You don't get
access until you've got a good track record creating fixes and being responsive
to reviews. After you've developed a bunch of fixes, gotten reviews and
super-reviews you will have interacted enough with the super-reviewers that it
shouldn't be hard to get 3 of them to vouch for you and your code.

Account activated for docs access.  I can leave this bug open if Tristan wants
to pursue getting write access.  If not, please let me know and I will resolve
as fixed.  Thanks.

Tristan: Do you still want me to keep this bug open for CVS write access?

Comment 6

[Tristan Miller]

I've recently moved overseas and have been having difficulty getting regular
Internet access.  As a result I'm not able to actively contribute to the project
at the present time.

ok, I am resolving this bug now to get it off the radar. When you are ready to
actively contribute and want CVS write access, you can file a new bug.
