Actually every committer (especially the PMC members) should feel responsible for the cleanup task. Sure it would be awesome if a couple of people could feel responsible as janitors but the rest should help. I see it not so much wyona specific (it is only that a lot of patches are coming from wyona folks) but a general problem. That is the reason why I started the clean-up day thread. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler COO Spain Wyona Inc. - Open Source Content Management - Apache Lenya http://www.wyona.com http://lenya.apache.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
