I'm happy enough for new committers to come on board. My main concern is the direction that some of them are wanting to take XML-RPC: many of the proposed enhancements that will interoperability at the wire protocol level.
However, we do need new blood. I'm about the only one even responding to the list at the moment, but I'm flat out with my paid employment and currently (for the next couple of weeks) don't have time to merge/test/commit patches. +1 -----Original Message----- From: Davanum Srinivas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 4/7/2005 22:01 To: xmlrpc-dev@ws.apache.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOTE] New committers for xml-rpc (Re: Status of ws-xmlrpc) Let's do something unorthodox...Existing committers of xml-rpc, please VOTE to add Siegfried Goeschl, Henri Gomez, and Jochen Wiedmann as committers. If we don't have 3 +1's from the committers (or get -1's), we can have a VOTE at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to resolve the situation. Here's my non-binding vote +1.
