Code Provenance Review

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

For the Incubator meeting Monday (2:00pm eastern time) I agreed to produce
a draft Code Provenance Review process.  While it is pretty rough, I have
prepared such a document in the wiki at:

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Code_Provenance_Review

I would appreciate it if everyone could review it and comment either to this
list in advance of the meeting, or during the meeting.

I have also started an attempt to do such a provenance review for GDAL at:

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/GDAL_Provenance_Review

It isn't exactly a 1:1 correspondance to the process document.  Some things
that seemed like a good step for GDAL (ie. identifying all committers) didn't
seem to important when I worked on the process document.  Also, I'm not
completed the work for GDAL.  It may be that my GDAL document is a bit more
detailed than we really need to do in general, though I think it gives an
idea of what to be looking for.

Best regards,
--
