"Math" is (a bit?) overwhelming for a team of 5- people.
In "Commons" there was the rationale of accepting only "common"
algorithms (although that was fairly fuzzy as a limitation).
Not so with that overly general name.
It's a library that will contain math, yes; all of math, certainly
not.
So the name is just a name; it should point to project, not to a
general concept.
The TLP move for Apache Math will help it gain some visibility and
also
give it the ability to branch out to new areas. There's nothing
saying
that the current 5 people are the only ones who will ever work on it.
The
idea is to grow the library.
Having Math in Commons did not prevent anyone who wanted to join.
If history of the last 10 years can be a guide, then there is nothing
saying that candidates will suddenly become plenty.
If it were obvious that the TLP move was the way to go to gain more
visibility, then why did it take so long to do it? ;-)
