Im pretty sure that in the end it will all work itself out. One thing there is no doubt in is that everyone both at Apache and in the Spoon foundation want nothing else than to see this project succeed. We all have that goal in common and I'm sure we are much better at compromise than our brothers in Congress, so we at least have that going. ;)
But honestly, so long as Spoon keeps with their stated intents of keeping dev discussions on list then I don't think there's room for much concern. Apache has a good infrastructure in place that all us podling nublets are still getting accustomed and familiar to, but every time I see something that comes up as a concern there's usually some sort of framework already laid down by Apache to work out the wrinkles. Lets just keep discussing, like we have, and we'll figure it all out! Looking forward to Feb. 2nd! -omar
