Can I suggest ensuring beforehand that there is a group of people who will explicitly test the RC on some projects. Two reasons: 1. The RC needs some serious testing :-) 2. The momentum for a general realization that 1.0 is dead, 1.1 was broken, but now 1.2 is here, needs to be created so that there is a huge move by all project using Commons CLI to actually upgrade. Step 1 is I guess to ensure that all Apache projects upgrade ;-) Is there an Apache announcement page so that the RC can get some seriously extensive marketing? -- Russel. ==================================================== Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
