I think that where Henri is going is that Tomcat has always been dependant on corporate sponsorship. First on Sun (who forked the code to GlassFish), then on JBoss (whom I understand from messages on the list has forked as well), and currently on SpringSource. Geronimo has historically considered Tomcat as a poor cousin ;), and preferred Jetty. Admittedly that has changed recently, and we're getting more patch submissions from Geronimo. But AFAIK, there are still no committers to both Tomcat and Geronimo. >> That's my wishes for Tomcat, not just code, bits and specs compliance, >> but recreate a new wider commiters/contributors community. > > It takes outreach to make that happen.
