Yes, this makes for a large PMC.I like this also. At this point, I like it a tiny bit more than the one person rep per project notion.2) Any release done by the project is accomplished via a vote of thatPMC. I like this a lot, though it has it's risks.The ASF has precious few resources beyond volunteers. It does have some dollars that could be applied to getting legal advice in specific instances which warrant it.Yes, I understand. However, it would be interesting to think about some sort of funding model for this task and a few others, for a full time person (like a real sys admin). It's just that I don't think that (most) volunteers in PMCs have the time nor the qualifications to do this. I wonder if IBM and Sun could pool money? Maybe we could have a "donate" page for only this purpose when people like the software. Sorry, I guess this is getting off topic. (But these days I'm afraid to talk about these sorts of things on the members list for fear I'll be shot completely dead. I'm hoping I'll get over it soon. There are other appropriate lists these days, but I simply can't keep up... email is the new tyranny of the world.)
Interesting... yes! Not only donate page, but also merchandising that gives % to Apache; tshirts, caps, pens, notepads, mice... I'd surely buy a Cocoon tshirt, and would be happy that Apache gets a share.
