[OpenLayers-Dev] general questions regarding the process of patches for new/enhanced functionality

[Marc Jansen]

Hi devs,

I recently opened two tickets ([1], [2]) for new / enhanced 
functionality of OpenLayers components. Both of them have (more or less 
trivial) patches attached to provide the actual functionality.

I would love to have a short note/review about the code in question by 
someone with deeper insights in the project.

I am not quite sure if I did everything the "OpenLayers-Way". Is the 
process of opening a ticket and submitting a patch the desired way? 
Should I have started a discussion on this list prior to opening the 
ticket? Please help me since I would love to participate in the project.

BTW: I have not handed in a CLA up until now. Maybe we can fix this in 
Sydney, as I guess many from the project will meet up there.

Regards,
Marc
