Folks! The only discussion seems to be about "how to retire the project", not "if to retire the project". This means to me we all agree to at least temporarily retire it and there is no more discussion about how to do it.
As the Apache commons way of retiring seems to be to move it to the dormant section that is what I propose. What are the next steps? Do we need a formal vote? Or are we just doing it? - Oliver 2010/3/29 Paul Benedict <pbened...@apache.org>: > +1 to push any inactive projects to the attic. they can always be > moved back if real activity begins. > > 2010/3/28 Henri Yandell <flame...@gmail.com>: >> 2010/3/28 Phil Steitz <phil.ste...@gmail.com>: >>> Niall Pemberton wrote: >>>> On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 7:22 PM, Henri Yandell <flame...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>> 2010/3/28 Rafał Krupiński <r.krupin...@gmail.com>: >>>>>> On 28.03.2010 20:13, Henri Yandell wrote: >>>>>>> Unless anyone speaks up for it, I'm all for our making a Retired >>>>>>> section and moving Transaction to it.
