+We share everything in this project. To gather views, directions and
+contributions, it's important to release early and often your work to
+everyone. Making this automatic (+properly licensed, integrated in the
+workflow of everyone) from the start helps to:
+ - focus on the work,
+ - lower the entry bar for new contributors,
+ - show how we work,
+ - give some assurance work in progress won't be lost/stuck in a closed area,
+ - "release early, release often".
+
+That doesn't mean that everyone should or will track every changes.
+That doesn't mean either that everyone may change something (this may
+be restricted to the artwork team + a public drop box). That doesn't
+prevent to make some cleaning once final formats are reached either *.
+
+* for that, you may name a root folder as "Final" for what is stable
+and long-term (and can be used by automatic processes for integration,
+even when it is patched/fixed) and another root folder
+"WorkInProgress" for what is clearly not ready for prime time, may be
+wiped out anytime, but still available for review/patch/etc.

+Ok, no pb. We will get to something I'm sure. Thanks for sharing btw :-)
