Jonas,
Whenever you feel somewhat secure about something, feel free to
commit. As long as it doesn't break anything you should be ok (which
is usually the case with new commiters, as we tend to double check
stuff). If someone sees something wrong about it, you should get a
reply in the commits list. Several people read the commit contents so
if there's something to be pointed, it will be. This way you can tune
yourself to the project while producing at the same time.
If in the other hand, you don't feel secure about a change, because
for instance it affects several subsystems, or changes an
application's behavior, post the patch here and wait for comments.
Smaller issues (which obviously are also important to get right, so we
have an overall clean feel) are better discussed with code, so we can
keep a good production/discussion ratio. These kind of lengthy
discussions are required when large changes are due, which may have a
wide impact.
However, personally, i would rather see the 18pt font issue being
fixed rather than changing about windows. It is a good metric to think
about how many users are affected with a change. The bigger the
number, the better. But you are free to spend your development time as
you wish. :-)
Have fun,
Hugo

Yes, fixing virtual memory bugs, etc, is infinitely more important to
Haiku's progress than these GUI details, and naturally I would rather
have the top talent of this project focus on the hard parts.
I'm not sure it would be okay for me commit a lot of changes all over
the tree without asking first, especially since I just got commit
access, but if you guys prefer it I can work more silently. There are
just all these issues all over the place, and I'm dying to fix them.
/Jonas.
