That's great! One of the questions I have for the project is: why haven't they made you a committer yet? (That's a question for the PMC, not for you, really, but it's one I'm betting the Board would be curious to hear about). ...snip... > However if that's really not possible, then I guess that leaves no > other option: once the vote has passed, I guess I'll start a final > thread to gather people who'd be interested to create a new project > forked off master on github, so we can start from scratch with our own > repository, bug tracker etc. I hope those people who said they're > actually interested will be willing to take an active part. Just to be clear as noted else-thread: the PMC vote is merely a recommendation to move to the Attic. Given the discussions here, my bet is the board will defer the resolution, so don't give up yet. For historical perspective, similar cases like this in the past have resulted in the Board appointing an/some Apache Members to the PMC to help provide mentoring, and to directly invite existing contributors to be committers or join the PMC. Then the Board would wait to see if the new energy can revive the project again. We try to avoid the Attic if there seems like there's energy still here willing to try. -- - Shane Apache Member The Apache Software Foundation
