James, I think both the werken-opt project itself, and the idea of moving it directly into commons are both good ones, but we should definitely go through the proposal step first. Write up a quick proposal (following the example in the charter or in the existing projects) and submit that to the list with a request for a vote. -----Original Message----- From: James Strachan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOTE adding "options" Command line API to Commons Proper (was Re: Command line API) I contacted Bob and he's happy to donate his work to Jakarta Commons and to maintain it here. (He's already a Jakarta committer). I've worked with Bob quite a bit over the last year on XML and XPath related projects. I'll also volunteer to help out if I'm needed. Since the werken-opt package is quite stable, how about we create a new "options" project and put it into jakarta-commons, rather than the sandbox first? I'll be happy to help out doing this and helping migrate packages and adding the ASF licence. So I'd like to call a vote to add "options" into Jakarta Commons proper (assuming its got ASF licences and in package "org.apache.commons.options". +1 James
