It's welcome. Send it to [email protected] and see what the

No - the corect dev list is now [email protected] which is
where this proposal was sent.
During the changeover people might want to flag important messages on
the old list with instructions on how to join this one but do not fork
the conversations - it will damage your community.
Ross -
[email protected] is the user list (it's name is historic - when
Jena was small there was only one list, and that became the one all the
user questions were on so).
As we discussed, we'll migrate the user lists but it will be a slow
process during which we'll have two active lists for quite some time.
[email protected] was the developers list.
Wow - that's confusing ;-)
[email protected] is the developers list.
[email protected] wil be the users list.

[email protected] *is* the users list
I suggested Matthew send it to the current jena users list because it's
active and mayeb we'll get more suggestions.
We haven't even discussed the mechanics of how we might migrate the user
list in detail.
Time to do so then (see below)
We haven't got the project infrastructure running at Apache yet, and
don't know how to accept something submitted and I didn't want Matthews
contribution to get bogged down.
Accepting such a donation in your old home will only make more paperwork
for everyone when moving it here (unless this contributor happens to
already be on your list of iCLAs needed).
The first phase is the discussion that you are moving to another list
and thus forking. The phase of accepting donations can be handled here
quickly even without all your iCLAs on file.
My original comment stands, but with different list name now that you've
explained the historical naming issue.
ASF lists are archived, send a mail to the old list saying something like:
"there's an interesting proposal to donate XYZ to our code base. See
http://..... for the discussion in our new user list archives. Send an
email to [email protected] to join the discussion"
