I went through your blog and the links you have sent, and i do understand your position. I have few experiences on open source software development ( please have a look at my blog at http://sameeramj.wordpress.com for an overview ), but still quite a newbie.

You are aware of the deadlines? This is the place for the proposal atm: http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2007 I would also like you to read this http://vafer.org/blog/20060908094521 The fact that you used this list to get in contact is a good sign :) >> I haven't really had the time to test it - but it seems 1.5 support >> is more or less there. >> So support for 1.6 (with testcases) would be a viable project. >> > > This is great.

IIRC there was already a patch for (some) 1.6 stuff. Please be as specific as possible in your proposal. So having a good overview of what to do *before* the March 24th http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60325&topic=10729 is essential!! "I wanna add 1.6 support" is not good enough. The more you show knowledge about what you are planing to do, the more likely you project gets accepted. At least that's my experience. cheers -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
