However, it's unlikely that current Geronimo committers want to be intimately familiar with some of these Geronimo components -- we've all had our chance to get involved, so far, but have chosen not to.
Its very unfortunate that everyone is thinking this way. After some pondering this morning, this statement really bothers me. These smaller components are extremely important to the success of and future growth of the community. When people see Geronimo, they don't see the runtime, but the things that reflect its image are things like the product documentation, the website, tooling and the console. Thus people's focus on only these runtime components will have a negative bearing on the project. The attitude needs to be for each of us, that we make more of an effort in the future to get involved in these areas. If that means that we have to put less function in primary components in order to spend time to grow these areas, then so be it.
