Do we actually need the agreement of all authors to become a maven core project? The sources are already licensed under terms of ASF.
The original authors seem not respond for months or the email addresses are no longer valid. Would it be fine if there is a new (active) project group filling up the CLA? http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas Actually duns code is not the original code. There was some other author (freehep). For me personally I do not care if this is becoming a maven-ocre component or not. I am fine with codehaus and other variants too. My personal interest is to remove all the forks and having an active project roup I can discuss and commit my work :) On Sun, Oct 7, 2012 at 12:23 PM, Jörg Schaible <joerg.schai...@gmx.de>wrote: > Hi, > > Benson Margulies wrote: > > > Adding plugins to the core is not so much a matter of 'strategy'. > > > > The nar plugin is a non-trivial amount of code.
