I would say that Adam should pick 2 or maybe 3 developers to be given write 
access. These guys should have worked on a number of different parts of the 
stack (not just writing drivers for example). Everyone else will have to 
submit their changes to the list as per usual for peer review, and one of the 
2 or 3 people with write access will check in the changes if they, and the 
list think they're ok. It is very important that these people with write 
access know enough about most of the stack to be able to effectively evaluate 
all changes! 

Based on what I've seen on the list, my nominees for people with write access 
would be Leon, Kieran and Paul.

Agreed. There is already a bit of an over-abundance of preprocessor in the 
source which is not good for maintinance.

I'm in the same situation. The sooner we get a live repository we can all 
track, and use, the better.
