The project was aproved by the PMC - so their commiters _are_ jakarta commiters, in the same role and position as you and me. ( probably it'll take few days/weeks to get the cvs set up and the accounts created, but this is technical detail ). > One of the requirements of bringing in a project is to have a champion, the > point being (as I understand it) to help ensure smooth integration into the > Apache/Jakarta community. And a jakarta commiter made the proposal - that qualify ( I'm not sure I've seen any formal requirement, I though it's only 'desirable' ). I don't know what 'smooth integration' is - getting them the NIH virus and a taste for endless flame wars ? > Generally (not specifically in this case) you wouldn't (well, I wouldn't) > want to bring in a group of people that didn't want to participate in the > community as a whole. That's sourceforge, isn't it? I believe (hope) they had a vote and all their commiters agree with the move. Otherwise it would be ilegal to change the copyright - all @ holders must agree. > a committer, but says nothing about if they are in any alignment with the > goals and principles of the ASF. And who is ? Are the people involved in the current threads on jakarta-general in 'alignment with the principles and goals of the ASF' ? I can't speak for others, but I don't feel any 'ASF spirit' when I read jakarta-general. > Really?
