Dear Francis, like Jörg has already explained to you we have by mistake not properly followed the Apache guidelines for new committers and one of our mentors has informed us that we cannot get you on this way.
This is largely my fault and I want to apologize for that. There are so many documents to read and understand and it seems that Jörg and I have been a bit too optimistic about the requirements. If you are still interested we would still try to get you on as one of our committers but we have to get it right this time. This involves an internal (private) proposal, a vote and the information of the Incubator PMC. I would expect this to take another couple of weeks time. BTW: Have you already have filled out and submitted your Contributor license agreement (ICLA)? If so good, it was not in vain. In the meantime you can, if you want, reorganize and extend the current distribution for Maven and send the result to me. We will modify our current build files to accommodate the changes. I will give you an update about the empire-struts2-ext dependencies tomorrow. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
