please, please no sub-sub-projects! apache has been trying to unwind the deep hierarchical structure (that jakarta used to have) for several years now in favour of a flatter model. the reason is simple: hierarchical structures tend to fragment and create problems with oversight. this issue of oversight is of critical importance for the board (and anyone else who cares about the future of the foundation). projects and sub-projects are constructs for legal oversight and management. one of the issues for a flatter jakarta is guiding uses through a myriad of components managed by a single community of developers. all components are equal but the management structure and the relationship structure expressed by the website navigation do not necessarily need to coincide. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
