Wow Ethan. I'm in awe. Really. I had the Bloodhound discussion @ incubator mailing list bookmarked so whenever I revisited I found no new posts. I figured the Apache Incubator discussion had died down for the holiday, and would pick up in the new year. I did not notice the pager appearing in the archives at some stage (how dumb can users be!), so the mails with votes + result on page 2 was unseen by me when I wrote the "uncertainty post" that sparked this new round of discussion. If I had seen it, I may not have posted figuring this was over-and-done with. I am glad I did write, as this thread certainly is a testament to the interest that Trac still has in the community. Your summary is extremely accurate and well-documented. There is one minor "OR" that need not be in there: As to my knowledge none of the private communication included demands for Trac commit privileges. Taking Trac to Apache was a hard requirement from the start, and at no point did WANdisco express any interest in working with the Trac community in its current form. Either move us, or replace/duplicate us. I hope the Apache Incubator & Bloodhound uses this information to build a better project. Now that they have given life, I certainly hope they can make the effort to spread some meat onto its thin bones... :::simon http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/osimons https://www.coderesort.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
