I presume you are not a Google employee. I'd appreciate it if you would speak about Shindig from a non-google perspective. This is because, understandably, Google does dominate Shindig. For graduation, the major concern is that sufficient space has been created in the project for non-Google contributors to participate on an equal footing. What I do notice is that activity here is fast. I read very little of the traffic on this list. As a mentor, I simply cannot keep up. Does this form a barrier for someone who would like to work on/with Shindig, but cannot do so (a) full time (b) on the West Coast USA (c) based from a Google office (d) etc? Upayavira
