I'm not sure how to word this delicately, so I'll just go bluntly instead. The problem is that I've never heard of Jeff. Indeed, a quick search through my local archive of the dev and user lists, going back about a year, show nothing from Jeff at all. So, while he may be very qualified, I unfortunately have no way to gauge that. Perhaps a mini-bio would be appropriate. Activity in the Cayenne community would be better.
On the other hand, Andrus has given it his blessing. As Andrus has done a pretty good job steering the project thus far and he is the primary contributor, his endorsement means a lot. In any event, I'm all for building up relations with other projects. I just don't have enough information to give this a thumbs up. So for now: Kevin Menard: -0 (binding) Although, I'm a pretty open-minded person. If my concerns can be addressed in a reasonable manner, I have no qualms about changing my vote. -- Kevin On 3/24/06 7:28 AM, "Andrus Adamchik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks, > > Jeff Genender asked if he can become a Cayenne committer.
