Ross, How do you square opposition to a separate china org with the irreconcilable needs to maintain English as the language of apache with the need to allow non-English speaking Chinese speakers to participate?
I can't. To the extent that it is possible, I encourage English capable people from china to participate in projects like singa, Zeppelin and kylin (all Asian origin projects at apache). That satisfies part of the need. There is also a serious need for projects that conduct themselves in Chinese. (There are also likely other languages where this need arises) Such groups cannot validly be overseen by a non-Chinese speaking board. How is a new Chinese speaking organization anything not important? I don't suggest that apache create such a beast. I would love it if apache veterans help with it. If I can help, I will, but I am handicapped by my linguistic ignorance. As it is often said, those with the itch must do the scratching.
