We've users, though no active developers beyond you -- as long as you're interested I think a move to dormant is premature. > * if the previous tense is wrong: > * just maintain the current implementation in trunk, or > * evaluate if the new Digester3 is a good candidate to replace the > proper one > <snap/> Third option would be to do both.

I don't think we should use the same Java packages (oac.digester.*) since this isn't a drop-in replacement. However, if you are keen on releasing this (I don't have time to help in near future), an option would be to promote and release the sandbox code while keeping the oac.digester3.* packages. This would mean doing both: (a) retaining current code in 1.x and 2.x branches in case future releases need to be made on those lines and (b) moving sandbox code to trunk as 3.x line (while keeping the oac.digester3.* packages). -Rahul > Looking forward to read from you soon, have a nice day!!! > Simo > > [1] http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/digester3/ > > http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ > http://www.99soft.org/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
