Glad to see the Python plugins are still being maintained. I see you are committing under http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/
I assume this means you have a OCA on file and Oracle owns and will donate just fine your existing contributions to the ASF. Note that the main-contrib cluster is still not reviewed by Oracle and is going to be among the last to be donated (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition ) > - When do we do the release?

I'm still unclear how we will handle the hgbinaries but it boils down to the license you have. Jython is Python Software Foundation License which is approved by ASF (https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a ). Please list the Python libs licenses and compare with https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html NBPython could become the 1st NetBeans sub-project under Apache! Who owns nbpython.org/ ? Will this be donated to Apache? --emi On Sun, Jul 2, 2017 at 9:49 PM, Julien Enselme <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I represent the team behind NBPython, the Python plugin for NetBeans. > First, some context for those that don't know us: Python was officially > supported in NetBeans until around 2010.
