By my count there are 11 committers for the HTTP Client component (namely
the 7 listed in the STATUS.html file, plus Dirk, Scott, Vincent and Doug),
which means 6 votes would constitute a simple majority.
Since the proposed release plan for HTTP Client 1.0 has received five
positive votes (four +1, one +0) and no negative votes at all, and several
of the outstanding committers have either never submitted a vote to
jakarta-commons at all, or expressed support for an informal plan very
similar to the 1.0 release plan, I think it's pretty safe to tentatively
call the 1.0 release plan accepted.
As stated in the initial call for votes, the voting period will officially
end at 23:59:59 GMT on Tuesday 4 September 2001, or when a clear majority
has been established, so those who have not voted should still feel free to
do so. But in the interest of making quick progress, I'll proceed with the
next phase of the release plan, calling for a vote to determine the
"in-scope" features/changes for Release 1.0. (If we suddenly and
unexpectedly get 6 -1 votes, then I guess that plan will need to be
scrapped.)
We're still seeking a formal release manager for release 1.0, by the way.
As promised, I'll follow up with a ballot on which
changes/enchanements/bug-fixes should be added or removed from the current
Slide and/or main-branch code base for the 1.0 release.
