Something like Expresso is large enough to be a framework in its own right. If the Expresso Community ever wanted to apply to Apache for incubation as an ASF project, I'd certainly support the idea. Or, if there were a coherent subset of Expresso that could be used by Struts developers as an extension, independently of Expresso, that might be something that could live as a Struts opt-* modules. Personally, I'd love to see a proposal from Expresso of some helpful code that they would like to grant to the ASF -- especially if it gave us an excuse to nominate you as a committer, Peter. :) Of course, it is very true that not every open source project is suited for Apache. There is a specific Apache culture and management style that doesn't work for everyone. We would never simply annex a codebase and then redistribute it under the ASL. We consider the community behind a codebase to be more important than the code itself. It's the extension's community that we would pursue, more than the code itself. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
