An innocent bystander's opinion (I'm not an ivy / ant developer, but I'm active in the Apache Subversion community): First of all, this is a volunteer-driven open source project. You're entirely free to use it or to use something else ... no hard feelings. Second, I'm guessing the ivy (and ant) project would very much welcome extra hands. So if this project is important to you, and you want a release to happen ... why don't you join the effort and help drive it. IMHO, if serious projects need it, they should also put in serious time, and start scratching some of their own itches (and, you know, become a substantial part of the active community you're asking for here). If right now the problem is "there is noone able to create / manage new releases" (but some people are still around to watch over the code and fix bugs), maybe someone can step up specifically for the job of release manager ... </my 2 cents> -- Johan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
