+1 I believe that if we continue to provide an useful structure, then the community will continue to build itself, in the way the community sees fit. As I understand it, the point of the ASF is promote the development of codebases in the Apache Way. As a administrative convenience, the Jakarta project was born to host these codebases. Whether or not the codebases interact or cross-pollinate or form a larger community, I think, is irrelevant. If the codebases want to do this, fine. If the codebases don't want to do this, also fine. Cross-pollination, when it happens, it a great thing. But it should not be the test of Jakarta. The only test is whether our teams are meritocratic, and are happily using that meritocracy to create great software. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Building Java web applications with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
