Hi Mohammad; Actually there is no reason not to accept your statements, you are totally right! . Why I want to subproject under Geronimo is that its diverse community(including user base) , and stable development activities. Another reason to be subproject is that until to now, we were not so successful to extend our user community, for example; a low mail traffic at OWB u...@... list. But being subproject under Geronimo we can also get more attraction from users.
And one more reason is that Geronimo may support ongoing development activities to achieve OWB's being a full spec compliant. Geronimo has a great experienced team who could help us to make this possible. But as you said, definitely OWB can also be TLP as its own. What do other folks think about ?
