I'm with Cèsar on the public acknowledgement to your work, we are not
discussing or putting any doubt on your past commitment with gvSIG project.

But thinking that contributing to a project is just committing code is a
huge simplification. gvSIG has received contributions from people all
around in bug triaging, GUI translation, documentation, documentation
translation, and yes, also on code patches. In fact I've just closed a
ticket about a collaborator providing a patch and the CLA: quick and fast.

Things are as easy as we want to be, and reading some procedures and
asking for help when there is any problem is part of any engineering
process.

But as any process, can be improved so if you want to do any proposal
don't hesitate to do it here or at the Technical Steering Committee
list, but remember that we are talking about contributions to the gvSIG
Project; only when the contribution modifies the core projects of gvSIG
the CLA is requested in order to have one copyright holder of the
product (I don't know how many times I've had to clarify this point, but
anyway, I'll do it gladly as many times as necessary).

Cheers
