OK, here they are: we're starting to develop the pages for the Ṣo Jos̩ dos Campos
Java Users Group, and want to use JForum not only as a forum but as basis for other projects as well.
Two small projects we want to do is a voting system for registered users (which will be used for voting on mini-courses themes, etc.) and one inscription system (for when we have events, etc.) - I don't really want to create this stuff from scratch, would rather use what is ready for JForum, and, if it works, why not donate the code?
I guess I will be developing most of those changes, but I don't really understand CVS (not the tool, but the methodology) - for example, suppose I download the code via CVS, make some changes that I want and then commit it - will those changes (bugs and all) be propagated to the other users? Will my changes be overwritten when I download the CVS code again?
Or can I just write the code so there won't be changes to the already existing code, but additions, will this be better for later commitment?
Any hint most welcome.
