I am not making assumptions and if you can point to me to something, please do, since I don't see any records anywhere (good place would eg be /private/pmc/jakarta, since I think you cannot expect me to wade through all archives if this is according to you so important). > > what is your interest here? Do you have nothing better to do? My interest here is the fact that I am legally responsible for what happens here. The fact that POI is running on it's own, doing what it wants, not according to ASF and Jakarta policy and therefor in fact is trying to act as a TLP/ separate entity, which it is not, is a big issue for me. So the first step in the process is actually making you (the POI project) part of the Jakarta community by removing all exceptions that seem to apply to POI (which in this case is SVN karma). The other part that worries me is the POI PMC members, since they are the once that should provide oversight (that is what being on the PMC is all about!) and they simply didn't mentor Nick on how to do releases. To make it personal for you Andy : Where were you with helping Nick out with the releases ? You are the first to complain on any changes in Jakarta when POI is involved, but you are pretty silent for the rest. Voting +1 for a release is a bit more than just sending a reply with +1, but I think you probably already know that..
