What if we set up a parallel contributions repository using a different SCM which we would optionally put our modules in? If a few of the large contrib projects moved we could get a good idea of how well it works without risking productivity on core.
This of course would be horribly technically complex since the cvs module and release scripts would have to deal with two systems in parallel.
Gordon and others interested in Darcs:
I am very willing to help you with work on darcs. Antyhing that needs to be done now, in order to get some contribs into a repository? Can we use Gordons server or should I set one up myself?
I could set up the contrib repository if you want. and I am happy to have darcs running on my web site. The only thing is that the web front end sometime gets killed by the dreamhost house keeping because darcs is a little cpu hungry sometimes.
Most notably id like to see the development of the files stuff get in there, that is a big project ,with in future (hopefully?) a few developers working on one base.
This can all be done, I am just not really up to speed on what happens on the backend for the current drupal cvs setup. But because every darcs repository is a working system then we could actually have with very little work a automated test suite that gets run after every commit. Not exactly sure if we could do this this contrib, but it could be done. Gordon.
