Yes, as Stephane said, visibility is extremely important for project growth. Right now, people are stumbling upon MINA, rather than coming via apache.org. Who would think that a network app framework would be hidden inside a directory server project?
Currently as I said before, MINA needs more committers to become a TLP, but what it needs today is visibility. Commons is again a set of utility projects and MINA tends to act more as a cornerstone than as a simple utility. Regards, Vinod.
