I've read all the related pages about contributing to In-Portal, and
asking community to use and understand SVN and/or Tortoise is not in
our favor.
I read all messages posted in dev and bug groups, and most of them are
about functionnality that users can effectively test. But when a user
want to test the result of a patch, it's time consumming to install
and use all theses tools.
I'm one of this users, who spend many hours everyday testing and
reporting carefully all bugs to improve interface, and at the same
time, I'd like to install theses patched kernel to test them. But
installing isn't possible if I don't spend time applying patches, and
moving files for testing on live websites. Sadly an average day is
only 24 hours long...
I'm asking you to provide, whatever you'll call it, a place where we
can download a full package, updated weekly, for example. All major
software companies are doing the same for their community, why we
don't? If you think my opinion is not the average one, please use Poll
function to have opinion from others :-)
