So if it was created in 2000 and edited in all years since it would be 2000-2003, if it was edited in 2000 and again this year it would be 2000,2003 or various other combinations (ie 2000-2001,2003).
Perhaps you have not noticed but the licesences inside sources files have been progressively updated. You welcome to contribute to that process if so inclinded. Perhaps a constuctive action would be to post a list of the packages that need attention. This would assist others who also interesting in bring these things in line.
All a copyright notice has to reflect is when the code was initially created. For new stuff this is 2003. A copyright lasts for 50 years after the owner's death--I need to double check for corporate ownership which is the case for ALL Aapche code.
* "unified coordinated releases" - really bad idea. Components should be releases when they are stable and supported. They should be released by the people who are willing to support them after they are released. The only reason why coordinated releases could make sense is if there is high coupling between components - in which case I would argue that the components should not be released. I would have thought that this was learned from the last big ball of mud release.
You could think of this as a stocktacking exercise where we step though everything - everything get our attention, everybody gets a little more aware of the status of things. The PMC progressively moves towards a position where is has a good grip on what it is responsible for, I see this is really constructive and so far, the impact on the code based and documetation has been positive.
It is also bringing up the code that we are not willing to maintain as a community as we come accross it and deal with it at that time.
Two main things. 1. Empower those who are doing the work
I thought we all could do the work.
* Delete junk docs (ie docs that don't say anything but are just placeholders). (I will also do this if no one -1s it)
Better solution: determine if we are supporting the library, and write real docs if we are or place it somewhere else if not.
