No, I don't believe that we need to be all one community. There is relatively little in common between, for example, Tomcat and James. [Although I do want to see if Remy will spare some time to help us integrate org.apache.naming into James as well]. On the other hand, I do see considerable semantic overlap between Ant and Maven. And it isn't as if they would have one mailing list for the two of them. However, my comment: "If anything, my concern is greater now because of the attitude than it was yesterday because of the code" wasn't about the two communities. It was about the series of vitriolic attacks that sprang from my asking the question, some of which amounted to nothing more than gratuitous cheap shots unrelated to either Ant or Maven. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
