Hi all,
For those of you who do not already know it, Apache Ant was approved as a top level project of the ASF by the board meeting of the 18th.
For the development of Ant and its users it will be pretty much business as usual. For the new PMC we will need to craft some bylaws which govern the operation of the project, etc. I'll try to get started on a draft of those as soon as possible. All input welcome. I expect these to be pretty standard - along the lines of httpd/Jakarta, etc.
There are other things we can/should address in time (establishing ant.apache.org, for example). I don't think there is any rush necessary here. If you have any queries about this or ideas you'd like to express, please feel free to do so.
The board has also created the Avalon PMC :-)
Since we will be doing basically the same steps, I will follow the discussion here closely, and eventually bring forward in both projects what interesting steps are being carried out on the other project.
Actually, I have one question already, because I'm in difficulty myself on this. The Ant CVS is named jakarta-ant. Will it change? Will "ant" begin with hosting a newer ant release?
No need to relpy now, I'll be waiting here for some hints, thank you :-)
I will also be jumping into bugs and patches in the coming weeks to clear some of the backlog. Please hang in there for that :-)
:-)
