I hadn't realized we were playing baseball. Please. Please please please kick Thrift out of Apache incubation status*. I can't see the light of a release without that. You're right. People aren't moving anymore. This is because we've tried this before:

And here's where you (you, Joe) mention that you've (you the ASF (as you're paid to enforce their policy, apparently)) lost another round of documents and we've got to start the licensing audit over again: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05392.html It's great that Todd still has the motivation and stamina to jump through the ASF hoops. I certainly don't, though I'm happy to support him. I'd certainly +1 if someone wanted to put up a vote for committer if that will help him get done what he needs. And you're right, it seems I haven't replied to 622 again (sorry Todd). I'll fix that momentarily (though the thread seems unresolved to me, despite my personal failure to follow up). On the matter of svn vs distribution: in light of the lack of support to create a release from the codebase we keep at Apache I, personally, will continue to use versions I've cut for myself out of svn. The code has been useful and something I think many have considered stable for a rather long time. I'm removing myself as a member of the foundation so I'm happy to advocate this pragmatic (though sadly flawed) technique that has been forced on the community by an organization fascinated by red tape. * I'm speaking only for myself here. -- Kevin Clark http://glu.ttono.us
