Hi all,
in case you're not subscribed to the general mailing list,

We're the third most active project in Jakarta behind commons
and JMeter. And we have only one and a half coding committers.
That tells a lot about how much effort Oleg is putting into
this project. Thanks, Oleg! Hipp hipp hooray! x3
But it also raises some concerns about the health of this
project. I hope that we can deliver a fully functional release
of HttpComponents eventually, and that more developers join
after that.
Until I see that happening, I will be in favor of changes that
have a prospect of bringing more people on board. In particular
Henri's suggestion of joining some developer mailing lists.
I'm not sure how well we fit with Taglibs and Velocity, which
is what he suggested, but I like the general idea of merging
some subcommunities.
cheers,
Roland

Who knew that JMeter was far and away our second most active project? :)
And what an active user list it has. Less so on the committer side, 99% of
the commits come from the same person.
Cactus-user doesn't show up because its archives are broken on
mail-archives. Nothing since 2003.
