when and if you can get back to the project?
If we cannot keep Batik going - then leave it in XML while we sort it out.
I'm assuming that both of you are aware that Thomas has suspended his participation in Batik[1] until he gets some clarifications to the Apache 2.0 License. Berin, is someone in the process of answering those concerns? He's been the most active committer for the past several months--so we should probably wait on Batik's status until these issues are resolved.

I'd personally have as many people on the new PMC as possible even if it means having more FOP people on it than Batik people. But having only two (or less) on the PMC from the Batik side seems not to be a good thing.
Any ideas how to proceed? Opinions? I'm out of ideas right now. After all, we have to finish reorganizing the XML project sooner or later, right?
I'm a big one for "just do it" :>.
I think the key thing is decide on Batik. If Batik looks too difficult, then let's just drop it for now. I'm sure it can be added into the XML Graphics TLP at such a time as it makes sense. Alternatively - if Vincent and whoever else is comfortable - then lets just move it in!
Then it's just a matter of filling out PMC names, having all those people vote in a chair and presenting the resolution to the board.
Cheers, Berin
I think we should do this in an orderly fashion--take care of Xerces first, then Xalan, then FOP will be the third project to leave the nest. When it is our turn, we'll have a vote internally on the FOP-DEV list whether to form (a) our own TLP or (b) an XML Graphics one that will assume a future union with the Batik project.
