Maintenance would always be done by us, since we have a vested interest in keeping the code base up to date and fully tested. Additionaly, having Apache control the code would allow other developers to add functionality to it if they so desire instead of having to wait on us to add something. To me, it's a matter of how our users get the Ant tasks, which is much easier if they ship with Ant. If they don't ship with Ant, then we have to support installing a seperate jar file for Ant users, and then it also requires the user to explicitly make taskdef defines in their build files for each Surround task they plan to use. If the tasks ship with Ant, then all we have to do is make sure the code stays up to date with our releases, which isn't a big deal at all. -matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
