Imo this also depends if someone has already contributed heavily to the project or had almost no impact at all. If he contributed lots of things and did a good work in the past, then I'd say we should keep him on the list. But if he haven't really contributed to the project I'd be +1 for

Projects with small community

2010-08-24 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hi all, together with a friend I am running a small project with a small community. Its already dependent to Apache log4php. Since Zeta Components entered the incubator we have the strong feeling that Zeta will help us one many corners. In other terms, we want to make our project dependent to

I'd like to formally propose a new project for the incubator, Apache Isis. If accepted, Isis will combine the existing open source Naked Objects framework with a collection of sister projects, providing an extensible Java-based framework for rapidly developing domain-driven applications. I

As I attempted to politely make clear earlier I find this name extremely confusing. Web connectors are just one subject area I assume this project covers. I think its generally a good idea if projects don't use their names to imply they are the only apache implementation of a certain kind of

I think the title of the name change is a little misleading. We are not Replacing 'Lucene' with 'Apache' . Apache is a given. IOW - The proposal is either: Change Apache Lucene Connectors Framework to Apache Connectors Framework or: Change Lucene Connectors Framework to Connectors Framework
