Jim's Apache site contains a link to all committers, also it lists pepole who signed a CLA, but are not committers. Perhaps you see one of the Obsidium guys here. (looked for Colin Young, not found) http://people.apache.org/~jim/committers.html#unlistedclas Or maybe Ted Husted can double check that recived CLA by Obsidium -Matthias > > I don't wish to ask anyone here to complete further documentation for > this very small piece of code.
