Alex, Agreed. I think we will get there. Fred, As I am digging further into this though, I am coming up with a lot of questions. I am guessing, based on the fact that I am seeing whiteboards, etc. that committers don't really have their own forks in our current apache model, but rather everyone is using their own clone of the same fork. Am I right? Is there a particular reason we went this way? I am just trying to understand so I can do my best to guide us within the model that has been created. There could be many viable reasons for this but to me, right now, it's a little strange for a git project, so I am just trying to grok it all. This would change some of the advice I gave Alex, for example. Mike
