=== Developer grade [[Developer_FAQ#Jedi|Jedi]] module X (CVS project and commit leader, for a particular module) ===
===Developer grade '''Jedi''' (Minor/Maintenance Release Manager)===


Goal/Permissions: Externalise development of new modules outside the core developer team.
Goal/Permissions: GIT merge and also test the PR on already released versions (branches non develop). May also backport fixes done into develop branch (GIT cherry-pick). Create releases for maintenance versions and make announcement of this releases.

{{ListOfModulesWithDedicatedJedi
|lang=EN}}
|lang=EN}}


Role need helper for module X: Yes, for all modules/features that does not exists or with no active developer (1 responsible by module). Please ask if you want this role with a new module idea on Dolibarr dev mailing-list.
Role needs more people: Yes. Please ask, if you want this role, at contact@dolibarr.org


=== Developer grade [[Developer_FAQ#Admiral|Admiral]] (CVS Commits for fix only patches) ===
===Developer grade '''Admiral''' (GIT Pull Requesters)===


Goal/Permissions: Develop, add or simply validate and commit, into CVS repository, some '''fix patches'''.
Goal/Permissions: Develop, add code into GIT repository.


Only after a variable time (which can be very long) to the rank of Fighter, and if the quality of all patch that was sent is satisfactory, a Yoda in place will provide you direct CVS access. You become an Admiral of the alliance Dolibarr.
You become an Admiral as soon as your first GIT push request was validated. To submit new features or fixes, you must use the GIT push request system that does not need GIT write access.


This title can't be requested. It is obtained by a decision or proposal of a Jedi or a Yoda who believes that you have submitted enough patches to be a serious Admiral. The Admiral CVS access, however, must be used to commit translations or bug fixes reported on Savannah or the forum (that is personal or corrections from a patch submitted by a Fighter). All CVS commits must necessarily include in its description (commit log field), the issue of Savannah bug corrected or the title of the forum message indicating the problem. Only translations escapes this constraint (no restrictions for translations). Failure to observe this constraint may lead to permission removing. To submit new features, patches must still by send to the '''Dolibarr-dev''' Mailing-list.
Role needs more people: Yes (above all to submit bug fixes)


Obtaining the rank of Admiral is as rare as limited. Dolibarr quality can not be achieved by a too large number of Admirals, but this does not means that there is not an important number of fighters (submitting patches).
