<<<<<snip>>>>>>> Just to throw it out there, I don't know Kevin O'Neill personally, or from the other ASF communitites, but I have reviewed and applied his patches to Xindice. <<<<</snip>>>>>>>
Kevin O'Neill has proven that he writes conscientous code, with respect for other developer collaboration. His code is clean and concise, and he has exhibited the desire to contribute. Most of all, he is actively using/developing, and we need that more than ever. I'm +1 for granting commit priveleges for Kevin O'Neill -Kevin Ross
