Hello
I use pywikipediabot for years and i've written some patches for it. Since i get fresh version from svn i have some annoying conflicts and .mine files spamming my bot directory. I would like to commit my work, is it here the place for asking such permission ?
In attached file an example of the work i've done on fixing_redirects.py : before the fixes the script was bogus on ~5% of pages (case artifacts, image and categories not handled...), after the fixes, it was 100% success from "-start:!" to end of allpages (yeah i'm quite perfectionist so i like spotting *every* link leading to a redirect on the wiki i work on : fr.wikibooks where there is 5000+ pages). I've also fixed several bugs listed on sourceforge bug tracking system. Could i also have the permission to tag them as closed ? (maybe should i ask elsewhere ?)

Looks ok to me. Any other developer opinions?

I had a talk with Nicolas Dumazet and he suggested i give more details about my work and my wiki identity :
Mostly active with http://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Tavernier and http://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Tavernierbot
I did a python irc bot : http://www.projet-ejv.ovh.org/blog/index.php/2007/03/20/6-script-python-nour... and have general interest in python : http://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/Apprendre_%C3%A0_programmer_avec_Python (not the author, but wikifier)
I did some stuff with javascript : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Brouillons/interface_ajax/js and basic : http://www.planet-casio.com/Uk/account/profil.php?membre=meithal (years ago) and and have basic knowledge in several other languages and internet protocols (http and irc mostly).
My philosophy is to not bother people and not being bothered by them about access granting, privileges, and so on ; but once one start working, discuss/revert what is undesirable. So i think the translatewiki right granting process (http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Betawiki:Translator) is quite good (just ask and get the keys), althought somewhat boring (you still must beg for the right :rolleyes: ).
Kind regards.
Ok, forget my request
One whisper me that i should submit patches instead of comiting directly, and then hope that a commiter deignt to valid them. I'm sorry but it's just something that i can't bear. Begging the kindness of a bunch of privileged (berk) guys is something that is too much for me. And realizing that I'M asking a privilege just disgust me now.
Maybe the git way should suit me better [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8] (everybody works on his branch is that it ?), but anyway, i won't touch to a svn, never.
Adieu

Git or SVN, actually, it's the same.
Linus says "Since people are stupid, you don't give commit access to people, there's no commit access. Actually, you give people illusion that they can work on their own, and eventually you, head developer, still choose if you want to use their work or not".
SVN has some weaknesses, but is not hypocritical.
