Will, Here's the snippet from the feedback you got on the infra list. Is #1 done already?
=============================== > And we will honor any rules from the Apache community. This include, 1. We > can make Nabble's Apache archive read-only. 2. We can make Nabble's > Apache area entirely Apache-branded. Please let us know what to do.. Please expedite option #1, for now. I'm not too sure about #2. I'm sure a lot of people would really appreciate a reversal of #1 that at some point, but I hope I shed some light on what I think needs to happen first. Please do understand I'm not speaking for apache in any "official" capacity. We try and avoid having to do that, its much easier when you "get" the concerns and take care of 'em for us. =============================== -- dims On 10/6/05, Will Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This message is about a new forum project called Nabble.
