Hi Oleg and all, the TLP proposal template is in the committers-only section of SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board/templates/subproject-tlp-resolution.txt
While the discussion about Jakarta vs. Commons may wage on for weeks or months, it is indeed obvious that there is no point in sitting it out. Even keeping up with the discussion takes hours. I think it will be another year or so until we really know where HttpComponents are heading. NIO has attracted new folks, if Client 4.0 does the same it makes sense to be TLP. I had hoped to stay under the Jakarta umbrella until this is clear. Moving to WS until we know for sure means double work if we go TLP. So it's a bet on the future. I can't find the mail anymore, but I dimly remember that somebody (Henri? Martin?) wrote that going TLP is really not much more effort than preparing the proposal, get a vote passed, and then start writing your board reports. Everything else is decided by the new PMC afterwards. There will be some organizational effort of course, like setting up new permissions and a private@ mailing list. Making the decision based on the number of supporters sounds like a good idea. I would also feel better if there is at least one ASF member on board. I will join the new project as committer, but not on the PMC. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
