-1 Allow me to disagree with you Gurkan, IMHO I think OWN should be a TLP project. I know it is to some extent related to JEE but IMO it defines a generic and extensible model for dependency injection and contextual programming which is not restricted to JEE, so being a sub-project to Geronimo will give the community users the impression that we only support JEE. I think we should follow the model of Tomcat and OpenEJB, which is a separate TLP and being integrable with other ASF projects like Geronimo for example.
And for the communit, being a separate TLP will not be affected and we could get more contributers and committers and a big example on that is DBlevins.
