[ECOS] eCos contributions and development projects

[John Dallaway <john@dallaway.org.uk>]

eCos community

Following recent discussion concerning the NAND Flash infrastructure
contributions, the eCos maintainers are introducing a simple process by
which open development projects may be registered with us at an early
stage and listed on the eCos website.

In future, contributions arising from registered projects will be
considered for acceptance into the eCos repository with priority over
broadly equivalent contributions developed in private. This policy is
intended to encourage collaboration on new features and reduce the
possibility of a community development being rejected in favour of a
private development of similar scope and quality.

If you are involved in an eCos-related development which you are
intending to contribute, please do consider registering your project
with us.

Further details at:  http://ecos.sourceware.org/contrib.html

For avoidance of doubt:

a) Contributions from projects which are unable to register for
commercial or contractual reasons are still very welcome.

b) All contributions remain subject to technical review by the eCos
maintainers prior to acceptance into the eCos repository.

John Dallaway
On behalf of the eCos maintainers
