I was trying to make a slightly different observation. We have the ASF which is a foundation. The foundation includes many projects == Top Level Projects, Incubator, etc. We should not be calling anything else a "project". This is different from OOo where we had other things called "projects", e.g., the "marketing project", etc. If we want to avoid confusion, especially when talking to other parts of Apache, we should think of a different term to use in these cases. Something like team, mission, special interest group, subcommittee, function, area, etc. For example, I tend to speak about the "marketing team" or the "qa team". -Rob > But now is not "future", therefore it is correct to assume that there is no > "German AOO(!)
