Re: New developer - how to start?

Hi Tyson,

Thanks for your detailed reply.

But, still I am having a doubt. If, being a developer, someone makes an
unintentional mistake & commits the same to SVN, then it will get released
in the next Wireshark build. Isn't it? Is there any quality control process
/ monitoring system for that?


Also, does ViewVc interface make it possible to find all the commits made
by a developer? If not, then is it possible some other way?
