My reply was: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-commons-dev/200704.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] In terms of your direct questions, I don't think moving gives us anything we don't have now in terms of being able to attract more users/contributors, improve quality or to releasing components more frequently. It would improve visibility a bit. Hen On 5/2/07, Emmanuel Bourg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sorry for the dumb question, I may have missed an important thread, but what do we gain exactly by moving to a TLP ? What will be different ? I can see the external aspects like a new web site, new mailing lists and the loss of the Jakarta brand, but I doubt we are moving just for this. Will this new structure help us attract more users or more contributors, and how ? Will we release more components, more frequently ? Will this improve the quality and the visibility of the projects ? Thank you for enlightening me.
