Not yet, but it's pretty high on our list, though.

Great! Do you have a screen shot of what you've done so far?

Yeah, we don't allow anonymous commit access to our live tree (for obvious
reasons). This means that the developers who *do* have write access wind up
spending a portion of their time applying patches submitted by other
contributors.

On the plus side, this also means that someone we trust has read and taken
responsibility for every line of code in the tree. That having been said,
we don't want this tacit policy to get in the way of people who want to get
good code into the product.

If you're interested in getting write access, it's not hard to earn our
trust. Just show us the code. It pretty much speaks for itself. :-)

Thanks,
Paul
