I too think this helps to keep a project alive and I don't expect that a developer of another project makes big structural changes to such a projects, just small quick-fixes. At least as long as a developer take the liability seriously.
This is as much more true when we speak about dormant or "stable but not under development" projects. If we move them to an "excubator" or whatever name it is, we should open them to every committer. This might be the last chance for those project to get restarted again. e.g. POI is widely used - but rarely developed. Now it is required to removed barriers to hopefully get them running again. --- Mario --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
