Does that ring any bells with anyone? Yep that rings a bell and going down that route again, is not something that has my support for *new* components (which this is). If the code is destined for an existing codebase, we could do the IP route, else I would like to see some level of incubation (besides handling ip). See the discussion on not-yet-commons ssl.
I'm wondering why? Seems to me that this is a slightly different situation to either CSV or the SSL situations since one of the developers is an existing ASF and Commons committer. Niall
On another note : If there will be no mentors for the project from Jakarta, I don't see a reason that Jakarta be the sponsor of the project. Not that this is a documented Incubator policy however, but since 1) we have a lot of people who are allowed to be a member and 2) the project should have active guidance from the community where it is destined to end up (esp important in a commons situation). I am planning to start a thread on these kind of situations on incubator general to gather thoughts. Mvgr, Martin
