Thanks Dan for the detailed feedback. I checked the FAQ http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#list-subscribers And it seems that to be able to moderate you need to contact the PMC to add you as a moderator. I wonder if we have anyone moderating for Camel, if so they are doing a very poor job :) Hadrian or Dan can you help setup me as a moderator for the [email protected] list? Maybe we should add more moderators so its not just a single person, for example Hadrian, Claus, Willem, Jonathan are working with Camel on a daily basis so they are good candidates to be moderators. > -- > Daniel Kulp > [email protected] > http://dankulp.com/blog > Talend - http://www.talend.com > -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: [email protected] Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
