See my reply to Andy for this. (if you cannot find it i'll try to find a link). > > There's a reasonable discussion that could be held about the role of > POI and Jakarta. Maybe we should have that discussion instead of > voting on a controversial but practically insignificant issue. That is what I planned after this vote, based on the result. This vote gives a nice view on the fact if they even want to be part of Jakarta. Andy doesn't looking at his reply of going TLP, Incubator (?) or moving out of Apache. The part that sparked this vote, is the releases that were made (not blaming Nick here, I think he is definitely an asset to Jakarta!) and it was made very clearly that POI needs mentoring from other Jakarta people, which cannot happen if they want to keep the gates closed. Opening the gates is a first step in the right direction. Hope that answers your question / concerns.
