Quite. And I would just nuance it: it's not about nations, which organize on the ground resources to help users and contributors but about language, which in diaspora floats above political boundaries, at least in theory, if not in fact. (In fact, it articulates empire.) I would actually be rather interested to see if ASF would even look to this podling as an experiment of sorts, that may be applied to other more or less similar projects. What would be applied: the linguistic float and the PR process. Mind I do not wish to usurp Apache's hierarchical structure; I see that as reasonable and logical. cheers, Louis > > Ross > > Sent from my mobile device, please forgive errors and brevity. > On Dec 24, 2011 10:14 AM, "Sally Khudairi" <sallykhuda...@yahoo.com> wrote:
