Ummm, we need to stop talking about "Oracle" as a corporate entity. Oracle is not a committer, and can never be a committer. If some of the ADF volunteers get to work on the code on company time, that's great. But, from our perspective, only the individuals are the committers. Not "Oracle". Right now, I don't know how any of the ADF developers feel. To move forward, we need to hear from the individual developers, who might become committers some day. If this is going to be a situation where one of the ADF developers can speak for the others, then we need to stop this right now. We need each and every ADF developer to speak for himself or herself. And we need to them to speak on the list, and no where else. We must continue to be clear that any communications about the ADF donation must be over the mailing list or through the issue tracker. We cannot have developers talking to each other off list and making "ex parte" decisions. Everything must happen over the list so that everyone knows what is going on. But, right now, these discussions are academic because we don't have access to the code. Once the snapshot is posted, and people have a chance to review the donation, we can talk about next steps. -Ted.
