i'm beginning to suspect that there are number of secret functor users out there... a lack of community prevented the functor component progressing from the sandbox. perhaps times have changed and there may be now enough momentum. would need a committer with enough time as well as enough interested developers... opinions? > PS I'm new to this open-source community stuff so apologies for any > mistakes/inappropriate actions (such as voting on this change). you're very welcome to cast a vote but only some votes are binding. (binding votes are those that count towards the final tally.) you'll often see folks express this sometimes as '+1 (non-binding)'. (there's a wiki page on nettiquette http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/JakartaCommonsEtiquette.) here at apache, we like to encourage as many people as possible to contribute to development and an important way of doing that is to debate decisions. votes are just one part of that process, a way to focus the debate. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
