The +1's have it :) I'll package up the release this weekend. I also think it's time to nominate Mark and Takashi, who have contribued significant patches, as committers, but I want to ask the PMC a few questions first. The first issue is that you need three binding votes to approve a committer, but Jon and I are the only active binding voters. I don't think it's a big deal because the PMC will understand that the project is mature/stable and that adding a couple more committers should keep the project rolling along at a steady, if slow, pace.
The second issue is that from one corner I hear that we want to stem the tide of new apache.org accounts (making me reluctant to nominate committers who aren't already Apache committers), but then I see other projects adding new committers and accounts at a pretty rapid clip. Subversion (the new revision control system from tigris.org) is supposed to resolve this because it doesn't require new shell accounts for committ access. Since it is finally being test-deployed, I want to ask about what it would take to migrate jakarta-oro to Subversion so maybe we can start off on the right foot and maybe lower the barrier for gaining commit access to the project. For example, I'd like to give Bob Dickson commit access based on the discussions from late last year, but since commit access currently requires a shell account I feel significant patch submissions have to be a prerequisite. At any rate, the only way I see to accelerate development is to make it easier for those who have already contributed to continue to contribute, so that we all can gradually chip away at the things we've agreed on this list that we need to get done. daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
