This is not quite true. Both Gerry and Ian followed up, the cooperation just didn't work out somehow.

I think we don't rule out any language/platform at all. .NET may have some legal strings attached that one had to be careful of (like avoiding to breach Microsoft patents - there are sooo many of them). Each of the ASF projects would have to judge whether it wanted to accept a .NET based subproject (an XML parser in xml.apache.org for example). It feels as if there was a strong resistance against adding new language centric projects (like Jakarta) and a stronger push towards "protocol centric" projects (like ws.apache.org, for example). Some of the old Jakarta projects have moved on to become top-level projects (like Ant) and would be free to accept new subprojects. I know that Geir has been in contact with some NVelocity people and they even thought about moving NVelocity under Velocity at one point in time. There are similar cases like Log4NET. It's more a question of communities finding their way into the ASF. The ASF is not actively searching for projects, it waits for healthy communities to come to the ASF (after all communities are more important than code in Apache land). > In my opinion, the .NET community really lacks coordination right > now ..

I've heard different opinions (why do you need three Web-App frameworks under Jakarta ... ;-) Stefan ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ nant-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers
