Yup. And there is nothing you can do about that. You can't simply state, "Well, the ASF will only have 10 projects so that our 500 developers can concentrate on those. We won't start an eleventh project." Guess what? If you don't, then the developers that were interested are *still* going to go wherever it ended up and work on it. It isn't possible to artificially limit the number of projects under some preconception that your limited pool of developers will only work on those. The ASF members and committers will work on what they want. That is here or there. But you can't coerce them. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
