David, I greatly appreciate your offer. However, the role of mediation in this case should be taken on (if at all) by the ASF Board and Avalon PMC (project management committee). The Merlin team submitted a proposal to the ASF Board which was returned to them with many comments and recommendations. Basically, if the developers still want to pursue a TLP (top level project) they need to meet the criteria specified by those recommendations. jaaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
