I don't see why. I don't believe umbrella projects work for anything but strict subsets of the PMC contributors. libapreq is an excellent example. That is why APR was created as a separate PMC. If APR is not a subproject of httpd, then I don't see any reason why a client project should be under httpd. In any case, the people wanting to set it up are going to have to set the scope appropriately. Is it going to be limited to C? Use APR? What is the interface? I mean, if the interface is 100% APR dependent, then apr-client is as good a name as any. I do want folks to keep in mind, though, that the PMC structure is required to maintain oversight -- if the PMC responsible for a cvs repository is not paying attention to the commits and releases on that repository, then the code doen't belong in that PMC. ....Roy
