What is the protocol for updating someone else's code?

Andy Burnett
I downloaded Avi Bryant's CSV Parser and found that it didn't work properly with Pharo.  After a bit of digging around I managed to fix it. Now I am a bit stuck. I would like to submit it back to Squeaksource, but I don't really know what the protocol is.  Should I:
  1. Put it back in the same monticello repository - would I have write access by default? - as an update
  2. Do I create my own repo, in which case how do I tell other people where to find it - I really want to avoid creating yet more packages for people to search through.
  3. Do I email Avi and give him the update
  4. Some other option
I think the problem is slightly more complicated because I am using Pharo 1.1. I don't know whether my fixes are necessary for Squeak, or Pharo 1.0.

What is the recommended approach?

Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,

You may try http://www.squeaksource.com/SimpleTextParser.html which is
a fork of the Avi's CSV parser I did to support additional protocol.
If you like fix or include some features, I can add you as project
developer. You may specify what's your particular case/issue with the
parser so other people can help you.
Cheers,

Hernán
