Re: Project Activity

[James Carman]

It is not just a suggestion. This is how the organization works. We have
open discussions on the mailing list so that other people can participate.
This project has joined the incubator in hopes of building a community
around its code. We are here to help you do that very thing. There seem to
be quite a few people interested in this project and what it has to offer.
If you guys need help setting up your build system here at Apache, I can
help with that if need be. Let's get this thing rolling so we can bring all
of these excited people on board and put together something awesome!
