Stephen,

Thanks for your help. Because this project seems to be in a state of limbo, I've decided to use JGA instead. (JGA is another functor API based on Java 5 generics. It also has a lot of the features that I wanted to see added to commons-functor.) I'd rather not fork commons-functor into a separate sourceforge project. Perhaps one of the existing committers will take over the lead development someday.

Best regards,
Brian

I'm writing a book that mentions the functor project. So I'd like to see this project promote in the near future too.
This project is very promising. There are a few things I'd like to change or add, though, before it should promote.


What are the responsibilities of lead developer? I'll step up.


The main requirement is that you are already an Apache committer. If you are then, just ask and you'll be let in.

Assuming you're not, then you have to do all work via an Apache committer until you get voted in. (Personally I'm not entirely in favour of this approach, but thats the rules). The problem is that no Apache committer seems to be currently interested in helping.

You could try asking at general AT jakarta.apache.org just to see if you could interest anyone.

Thus, your only other approach would be to take the code to sourceforge. The AF2 license allows this, providing you keep the ASF credits (read the license). Possibly in the future, if an Apache committer did become interested, it could then be merged back.
