Okay... But, can I transfer my Hibernate component over to this new

Fulcrum.
I think there are problems...
LGPL is probably compatible with ASL, BUT ASF has said NO on being involved, I think largely due to unclarities of what the license actually demands from Apache _users_, more than ASF itself !!
This is a point that I didn't think about earlier. Just to absolutely clear - in the case of the Hibernate Component - at is using LGPL it is subject to the LGPL by viral virtue - hense the requirement to license the Hibernate Component under the LGPL and not under ASL. Therefore the requirement is created for a place to put this LGPL Hibernate Component outside of ASF space pending an explicit release of the viral association by the licensor. However - this means that anything using the LPGL Hibernate Component is by default pushed out as well. Ummm, I starting to understand the religous impliciations and the reason for zero-tolerance on LGPL.
Secondly, can I have committer access?
I most certainly would assume so.
Stephen was touching on the idea of micro-projects, but I would like to point out that "community is more important than code", all according to Apache itself, so I think it is counter-productive of letting each committer fool around in his own pond.
Sorry I should have been clearer - I didn't want to suggest seperate sub-communites. ASAIAC is about one community - many components - joint and several responsibility - the community is the important thing.
Stephen.
If either of those are no, then that points out the need for another site.
If both are yes, then I'm all for it as it solves my problem.
Agree.
