[Opensim-dev] Policies for acceptance/rejection of patches

[Diva Canto]

It has been suggested that the decisions for acceptance/rejection of 
patches into OpenSimulator is arbitrary. That is not the case. The 
decisions, however, aren't entirely mechanizable: some of the criteria 
cannot be codified in something as simple as a code style checker.

The documentation for developers on the Wiki [1] has lots of good 
information, but it was missing what I think is a very important piece: 
compliance of the patches with the architectural principles of the 
project. Here it is:

I hope this helps clarify things.

(I added this link to the Wiki, too)
