I don't have an oppinion on docs, but since there has been no maintenance I
trust you guys that Anakia is a good solution. Anything is better than the
current state, imo.

+1 for mailing list, and I believe it will also not hurt if everyone logs to
sourceforge and subscribe to monitor the Open discussion forum (so we can
get input from users of the tool that are not necessarily developers.)

+1 for meritocracy

Basically I am a big believer in not bugging other people with a very strict
"policies" and just letting the developers that want to code submit patches
and get these integrated in the head code asap. Code that does not work or
break the tests will be flagged by the test cases, and naturally will be
removed by one or more maintainers. More active CVS developement needs to be
coupled with a better system to test the builds, but I can see that Jason
and Kevin are already moving forward with this.

The Apache project is recognized as a system that works and has produced
excellent software. I believe it is wise for hsqldb to use the experience of
apache/jakarta devs that want to contribute with this project, and hopefully
get it going at full speed. Another option is to simply let the current
development continue in SourceForge (with the current rules and process) and
start a different branch based on the 1.43 sources as a subproject of
Jakarta. I believe the license for 1.43 allows this, and the original
developer has already stated that he has no interest in continuing hsql
development.
