Thanks a lot for your interest in Commons :-) If you want to start contributing to feedparser, please do so via mailing list discussions and/or contributing fixes and enhancements as you deem fit. But I wouldn't want you to invest in feedparser *only* because of Phil's email, since I would expect someone who takes on this task to be: * Capable of being the release manager for feedparser 1.0 (which means the individual probably needs to be an existing Commons committer willing to invest time in feedparser with immediate effect). * Preferably, a "domain expert", i.e. someone who can, without much effort, make judgements about the correctness and improvements needed to the codebase (not from a Java syntactic perspective, rather a feedparser semantic perspective). -Rahul > Andrea > > On 12/21/05, Phil Steitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We need to make a decision on which way to go here...either demote > > back to sandbox/dormant or have someone step up to drive this > > component toward a release. > > > > I am happy to help getting the site fixed (seems we just need to add > > it to the nav, as http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/feedparser/ is > > there) and with build-related issues; but I have neither the time nor > > expertise to do much else. > > > > If we can get one knowledgeable and interested committer to step up > > and a few volunteers, we can resuscitate; otherwise we should think > > about moving it to dormant. > > > > Any volunteers? > > > > Phil > > <snap/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
