Of what?  Moreover, mine is just one voice.  And why would I care?  What I
do care about is the image that the ASF has cultivated.

log4cxx appears to be the same three people that have been involved in it
for the past 6 months.  mod_aspdotnet does not appear to have any more
committers today than when it left.  I'm not sure what is happening with
jUDDI or JaxMe.  log4net appears to be just Nicko.  log4php appears to be
just Marco, and hasn't been touched in 9 months, as best I can tell from a
quick browse.

Lenya, Geronimo, Derby, Directory, XMLBeans, and others have been required
to develop their communities, and appear to have benefited from that
requirement.

project.

If that were the case, there wouldn't be an issue.  However, in this case,
the reply was that there are issues in taking responsibility for the code,
based upon limited ability to support the language/platform.

Personally, I would hope that the incubation tagged distribution would help
to attract additional people to work on the project so that this problem can
go away.
