Re: Jakarta stats

2006-01-14 Thread Jeff Dever

 I guess I consider myself to be a category 3:

3) People who are committer, did do some serious work and vanished.

The situation is simply that I am unable to work on Jakarta any  
further.  HttpClient is very very active and I am pleased that  
development continues under the Apache umbrella.


I'm not sure what, in this context, it means to be moved to  
'emuritus'.  I appreciate recognition of past work, but I don't feel  
my contributions warrant such a title.

Above two are the only acceptable choices for folks with valid  
accounts. We can discuss means and mechanisms of moving to emeritus  
and back, but removing folks who fall into groups 2) to 5) is  
unacceptable - all IMHO.

Hmm I miss the part about vanishing, you clearly are monitoring lists ?

(from http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html)
Emeritus
A term used to formally designate someone as no longer active, but still entitled to all of the 
rights and privileges of the position. For example, an ASF member who hasn't attended any membership 
meetings for a long time is declared emeritus; someone who no longer has time to work on a 
particular project may declare itself emeritus. Emeritus status indicates interest but not activity, 
as opposed to having resigned.


You decide for yourself :)

Mvgr,
Martin

My spam filter which dumps nearly all [EMAIL PROTECTED] email, does  
keep messages with my name in them.  Heh.


I'd take vanished to mean became invisible, which is what I had  
become for some time before this thread started.


Emeritus status in Apache context is quite encompassing, which would  
appear to an appropriate place for people in my position.

I've got interest but not activity so... Emeritize me!

(I enjoy lurking but haven't committed in 2 years. Haven't even checked to
see if I have a svn account yet :-))

On the people side of things, that means finding Manual, getting his

fine with it I suspect if Manual has said yes).


Good news - I've found Manuel and he agreed; I also 'grepped' for the 
total of authors and there are 13 total. So I have sent another message 
to the list explaining the situation and more contributors agreed - the 
tally is now 7/13 and I will wait a couple of days before going after 
any of the remaining 6 individually...




Be sure to use the phrase 'Apache DbUnit' somewhere in the email ;)


Or Apache DBUnit...
