I'm a commiter since February and wrote the URL rewriting support that Robert Zeigler improved (thanks Robert!). Unfortunately, that's the single contribution I've done so far (besides contributing some Brazilian Portuguese translations). This issue is more about open source development at large than Tapestry-specific: a few people are paid to work on projects (I wish I was one of them), but most work on their free time. Some projects have companies behind them (Hibernate, Spring, JBoss, etc), some of them quite big (IBM, Sun, etc). We all here should thank Formos for employing Howard, so he can spend a lot of his *work* time writing and improving Tapestry. There are many things I want to do, but I'm too busy now to do them. I can't speak for other committers, but I guess this happens to them too. My bigger plans are here: http://www.nabble.com/-VOTE--Thiago-H.-de-Paula-Figueiredo-as-Tapestry-Committer-td21917887i20.html#a22047791. -- Thiago --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
