I don't believe Costin and Ignacio are actually interested in proposing
components to the Commons. Costin wants to use the shared CVS to host
another model for sharing code -- "Agora". As I understand it, the
release process here would not be controlled by the actual committers,
but by the subprojects using the components.
Most of us were not interested in pursuing that model, but wanted to
give Costin a chance to explore it further.
We originally used the phrase "sponsored by another subproject" to
ensure that Agora would have use of the shared CVS. Where it breaks down
now is how the code developed in the shared CVS gets distributed. We're
concerned that unless we are more specific, it could become a backdoor
to distributing code under the Apache brand. I'm sure Costin would do
the right thing, but the CVS would be open to all 90 Jakarta committers,
so we need to more careful.
