However I understand the concerns others have already brought up. For the time I have been at Commons, there have only three new sandbox components been created: BeanUitls2 and Inject have been created from scratch by one of our committers after a formal vote, Commons RDF is currently going through the incubator after some discussions. I don't understand why we're rushing into this in this case. There has been very low activity in Commons RDF which has shown me, that it was a good idea to go through the incubator to build a community first. Further more I would like to remind everybody about one of the core terms of the ASF [1]. We don't accept people (or their code) because they are rock stars in Computer Science, but because they have proofed their skills and willingness to work on our components over a longer period of time. Thank you!
