 To enhance code quality and security, a procedure has been established to control and grant GRASS-SVN write access. In general, write access must be requested and is not automatically assigned. Any code submission must be compliant with the GRASS submission rules.
 
-==== Write access to the Main GRASS-SVN repository ====
+==== Write access to the GRASS core repository ====
 
-The typical process for new developers to gain full write access to the Main GRASS SVN repository is that for some mentorship period they send patches to the grass-dev mailing list (or the trac system) for existing old timer developers to review and commit. Full SVN access generally happens when the mentor has seen enough patches that they trust the person's code (committing it unchanged) and eventually get bored reviewing & rubber stamping all their patches. It is assumed during this period that a track record of trust will be established via participation on the grass-dev mailing list. At some point the mentor nominates the new developer on the PSC mailing list for full write access, and a vote happens.

After a period of evaluation, SVN write access may be granted and is set up in the OSGeo authentication system (see below).
