Journal LarsWestergren's Journal: Open source source-code management for an open JDK

From now on I'm going to journal all my submitted stories, so that next time the Slashdot editors say they only post stories by Ronald Piquepaille, beatles-beatles et al is because they don't get any good submission by us others, I'll have something to point to and ask the Slashdot public what they think. :-)

Submitted today:
As Sun is working towards open sourcing the JDK, they have previously asked the community which bug tracker to use, and now Mark Reinholt (Chief Engineer for the java platform) blogs about which distributed source-code management tool to use. They are currently leaning towards the Python based Mercurial, but Linus Torvald's Git and Bazaar are other solutions being evaluated.

Edit: Rejected, half a day later.

The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.

Working...
