Juozas,
this one will be a bit emotional.

No problem dude, I can fix that license issue. Code formating is nice,
but it is not our prime problem!

Nice.

Argh Juozas, that's normal. When you get commit rights in commons-sandbox you
have automatic commit rights to the other projects too. Same as I. And it's
no discussion, that we must show respect to the codebase of the other project.
Voting is the normal way, to change things in every apache.org project. Please 
read the apache.org guidelines.

If you don't wanna have commit rights in the commons project, then please mail
that to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will remove you. But you have to say it loud and
clear!

Juozas did you read <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/index.html>? It's true,
that maybe the code is a little bit hidden for the normal users. But Apache is
not Sourceforge and we have to live with that.

Honestly Juozas I have a little problem with you. I proposed you as committer 
for commons-sandbox, because I believe your are a good developer with great ideas.
I changed my mind for the simplestore project modul, to make place for your aims. 
But your mind is changing every day. Some day you say right, the other day left.
One day something with Jakarta Commons is bad, the other day the whole OpenSource
development is strange, and so one... Could we please stop this (being a PITA).

When you don't have time I understand this, but then say it loud and clear. When
you don't like it any more, then say it loud and clear. When you have a other ideas,
then say it loud and clear.
I know language is problem for you, but I give the advise to write short and 
accurate sentences and at least check your typos in your emails!
English is not my natural language too, I'm german. Sometimes I would like to
write contributions here in german to express myself clear. But that's not possible
and english is ruling here. That's it.

Juozas make up your mind, think about your effort here and to simplestore, stay kool
and _most important_ have fun here. It's a great opportunity, believe me!
