Ted: I am very interested in specifically understanding what IP checks the code in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/heraldry/idp/pip/ is missing.
Thanks, Gary. -----Original Message----- From: Ted Leung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 4:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VOTE] Stop incubation of Heraldry Whether or not it is a shame is not the issue (and I believe it is a shame). The issue is whether the existing Heraldry developer community is able to continue incubation. The last 6 months of history suggest that it is not. This does not mean there will not be an OpenID project(s) at Apache. Go look at the web services projects, where we have several implementations of the same protocol stacks. The ASF is first and foremost concerned about the health of it's development communities. If someone wants to build an Apache licensed OpenID stack(s), no one will stop them. But I think that the historical record clearly shows that the current community is not healthy, and the silence of the last two weeks or so has just reinforced that impression. Also, none of the code that is currently in the Heraldry SVN has even passed the basic ASF IP checks. I don't know if JanRain and Verisign would be interested in helping to clear that IP so that the project could go on.
