This is something I was wondering about as this thread developed, and while I think I agree with your definition, the next obvious question is what makes someone "a member of infrastructure"? Simply being on the infra@ list? Being on the infra-private@ list? Something else less clear cut? -- Martin Cooper , and if that's the case, Confluence is
indeed a part of the "official" ASF infrastructure since I, as a member of ASF and Infrastructure, have volunteered to maintain it. From my perspective, the problem is that the infrastructure team only supports tools that they themselves use. What a project wants to use something different, they are on their own. Therefore the solution to that is to have volunteers who are familiar with the new tools join Infrastructure and help out. Struts, and a lot of other ASF projects, have found Confluence to be a very helpful tool, so seeing that no one was really maintaining the Confluence instance, I volunteered to keep it up. Infrastructure is always looking for volunteers, so get involved and make it happen. Don On 11/9/06, Roy T.
