Hi Oleg, all, > Let's face it: we are on our own. > Yes, we are.

Maybe because I am no longer fired up about the web site confusion. Or because I don't have as much time to put into it. > (2) State that Slide are welcome to join at any point they feel > interested and ready. > (3) Send a message to WebService General list and invite those > interested in overseeing the project join the PMC We'll be able to scrape together a PMC with enough people to vote on releases and stuff. But there's still something I consider a fundamental flaw in the composition of our community. While we have attracted several contributers for patches, and I am very grateful for Sebastian reviewing the release packages, there are still only two developers _pushing_ this project forward. And more often than not, we're pushing in different directions. It's not healthy. Jakarta, the umbrella, has become very silent recently. We might be better off just laying still for some more months, getting HttpClient to beta and hoping to attract more contributors with that. Yes I know... not likely. Saying that, I did put my name on the original proposal and will stick to that. It's just that I will be busy with my lectures again for the rest of the year, and have some other reasons forcing me to restrict my computer time as well. I won't be able to help as much as I had hoped two months ago. > (4) Decide on who assumed the role of the Chair.

How about May or June 2008? cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
