In the long term if you stick around, Tetsuya, you'll likely be a member. At that time you can obviously sponsor it. I'm afraid you've just been voted in (premature I suppose to call it but a reasonable deduction) as a committer at Jakarta and thus I don't think you're ready for this in any sense of the meaning. I have no doubt that given time you'll be in a position to sponsor it.
You'll have to learn to walk the gauntlet of flames and survive of course, but I've no doubt you'll make it ;-) -Andy On 6/3/03 9:13 AM, "Tetsuya Kitahata" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Tue, 03 Jun 2003 07:44:00 -0400 > (Subject: Re: basicPortal to incubator) > "Andrew C.
