[OpenLayers-Dev] Different lon and lat map resolution (and other issues)

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

Just a quick note to say I understand your frustration.  However, we all 
have lots of work to do - and it doesn't make sense to allow 
modifications willy-nilly.

http://trac.openlayers.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&keywords=%7Ereview&order=priority
(or http://tinyurl.com/3yvr56 if you like)

The above link shows the current patches awaiting review.  Now, I can't 
speak for others, but I generally don't take on patch review unless:

1) a ticket really makes sense to me
2) the ticket has a single (obvious unified diff) patch for review
3) the patch includes some tests

It's probably best if your idea gets some air time.  If there are others 
that are interested in it, then the issue likely deserves some 
attention.  If nobody else wants the modification, then it's probably 
not suited for the library.

If there is interest from others (replies to the list, comments on the 
patch), then it would probably make sense to add some tests and make a 
single patch for your modification.  And yes, if it doesn't apply to the 
trunk, it is even less likely to get reviewed.
