With some of the new changes happening to manta it is important for us to be able to collaborate any errors that might crop up.

If you update your code and stuff breaks or doesn't function as you expect:

1. Try to figure out who made the change (svn log, svn blame)
2. If it is a simple fix that doesn't change the functionality, fix it and check it in and send email to the author. Alternatively just send mail.
3. If you don't know how to fix it:
Send email to the author of the change. If they don't respond and you need to get your work done, you can revert the changes in your local branch with "svn merge -r HEAD:PREV <files or blank>".
   If things go long enough, check in your revert.
In all cases email the author/mailing list, so we all know what is going on.
Please don't indiscriminately comment out code that happens to not work for you and check it in. This doesn't help.
4. If you do know how to fix it, but it is a more complicated change, please consult with the author, so the original intent of the code isn't modified.

Thanks,
James
