If you're already a Commons committer, all you need to do is add yourself to the STATUS file. Item #15 in the guidelines of the Commons Charter says: "Each committer has karma to all the packages, but committers are required to add their name to a package's status file before their first commit to that package." See http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/charter.html For active components, of course, it's polite to ask first, but if there's nothing else going on, you should feel free to jump right in and have at it. -- Martin Cooper > > -John K > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
