Hi everyone,
You probably think "Hey I have seen a similar vote started by Henri on
27-3-2006" and the outcome
was 3 -1 from POI so their SVN is still closed for Jakarta committers.
The reasoning behind this is that POI is still trying to stick to what it
Jakarta once was and it is
time they join the club completely.
-1 from me.
Harmony doesn't let anyone commit on their project unless they they
sign a statement saying they haven't looked at Sun's source code[1].
AFAIK this is a similar issue and the POI policy [2] is designed to
protect POI, which as a user of POI is a good thing IMO. Even if this
fear is actually unfounded seems like a sensible policy to err on the
side of caution.

[+1] Open up POI svn commit access.
[-1] Don't open POI svn commit access, because...
The vote will be open for a week.
Mvgr,
Martin
