The other thing that bothers me is the total lack of communication that this would be enforced. I read the devel mailing list. I'm on the d.o and g.d.o. I'm on IRC. The notification that sandboxes had been turned off was the first I heard about it. Thanks for letting us know. I recently had a hard drive crash. Having my sandbox available meant I could get back some patches I had been working on for views. Is views a core module? No. Do thousands of people use views? Yes. Am I a dumbass for not having a better personal back up soluion? Certainly, but my sandbox saved 40+ hours of work on what I hope will be a key views feature. If anyone is using their sandbox for purposes other than bettering Drupal, I will be the first to support ending his/her CVS access. Why punish the rest of us who use it for good purposes? Consider this my request to have my (and everyone else's) sandbox re-enabled. -Mark On 12/16/06, Robert Douglass <rob@robshouse.net> wrote:
The sandbox is a good place to do work. People can see the code online, can check it out, can work on it together, and then decide whether to move it to a project. We don't need more Drupal projects. The sandbox is useful and the rules are a hindrance. I'm not proposing no rules, I'm just saying that trying to keep the sandbox a clean and orderly place is silly. What's wrong with having a designated place for chaos?

The rules haven't changed, they are only enforced.
It seems that in this case, enforcing the rules is getting in the way of people doing work --
