What 'dependency' to jakarta do you see ? And why removing the *dependency* between jakarta and ant be benefical to either of them ? Jakarta is a bit more than just a container for a dozen or so of sub-projects - it is also a community and a brand. > It's just a matter of being indipendent of Jakarta and having a PMC that > reports *directly* to the Apache board. And this is a benefit how ? Jakarta PMC is elected by jakarta commiters - and usually knows a lot more about jakarta projects than the apache board ( or so it seems ). ( that besides having almost 1/2 of the members commiters on ant ) > Honestly, I don't see how having a PMC *and* remaining under Jakarta, if > ever possible, would help in any way. And I don't see why having a PMC and remaining under jakarta are exclusive. -- Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
