Hi,
From what I understand Event was forked off by Berin and he continued development at d_haven and over that time significantly improved the codebase. AFAIK no one else from this project has significantly contributed to the new codebase (or even the old one?).
I would suggest that a good way to move forward would be to allow Berin to continue development at d_haven. The Excalibur event package is then deprecated in favor of the next stable d_haven release. Until such a time people can continue to use the old excalibur package.
If (and only if) there ends up being significant contribution from excalibur committers to the d_haven codebase then it can be moved back here if that is their wishes.
At the moment it seems unwise to to migrate a codebase that has a development community of essentially one to Excalibur. Even if it was to migrate to Apache I would suggest that Jakarta Commons is probably a better destination. The reason is that it will have better exposure there and is much more likely to be adopted by a wider range of users and developers than if it came to Excalibur.
I don't think we should be worried that Berin is going to massively alter the codebase and leave fortress stranded and in that light I am having trouble figuring out why it should arrive here.
