There currently is only one person doing significant work on the
core ORB (Rick). A few people are working on the WSDL binding
module, but most (all?) of them are IONA employees, so there is a
single company that is vital to the success of the project. To me
it looks as if yoko currently doesn't meet the minimum exit
requirements.
Ric is from IBM and, as you mentioned, the others are from IONA.
Then there's you and a few others. We definitely have more than
three legally independent committers. I guess the question is that
if, theoretically, IONA disappeared would we be able to carry on?
At the moment, I think Ric is the only non-IONA person who is
intimately familiar w/ the code.
