[Adium-devl] Call for review (wiki): Tips for GSoC students

[Colin Barrett]

The formatting of that page is rather ugly.

Perhaps some things ("[close|comment on] tickets") could be merge into  
on section. Perhaps some (Don't use the -m switch) could have things  
turned <ul>s instead of headered sections?

Also, I would suggest toning down the section on -m (even to the point  
of just warning about shell escaping, and linking to the full article  
(on your blog, natch)). -m is a useful tool to encourage people who  
aren't used to committing to do so early and often, IMO.

Your personal feelings on -m are made quite clear there, Peter, but  
not everyone shares your opinion ;) For instance, I single quote, and  
avoid !'s in commit messages. I also prefer to keep most of the  
information about a particular change in the ticket its associated  
with, so a commit message will tend to be a short summary of the  
change, with the information about it in the ticket.
