My point was that we should be prepared for such concerns. For example, I imagine an announcement that Apache is producing a full ecommerce stack would create some buzz and questions.

But then, figuring out those sorts of things is exactly what the incubation process is about. -- jaaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
