Wow I feel "special" to get asked liked this ;-). I was going to ask to join anyway .. so I'll be happy to. However, I would like to request some changes: - Under warning signs, in the "Homogenous developers" category it lists developers from Sybase, IBM & LogicBlaze. Is it the case that the *current* codebase has contribs from all these companies? If not I believe the spirit of the question is about the current codebase, not about the group that'll get it thru incubation. So please indicate who wrote the current codebase (which I believe is all Synbase). - The initial committers list is very long. I'm on service-mix dev and I see only 2-3 people committing (and little or no discussion; am I missing some stuff??). Can we try to list people who are really going to write code for this? It doesn't make sense to list *23* committers unless they will really write code. We can always bring people on board as they start contributing. If all these people are really so hot to mess with a BPEL impl, damn, I should feel really good about BPEL ;-). - Given the, um, strong feelings expressed by so many people about this project, how about if we get the Incubator PMC to sponsor this poddling? I'm a member of that PMC and I'll be happy to do it. That allows the poddling to decide, upon graduation, its final resting place: Geronimo, new TLP or elsewhere. (NO, I'm not even suggesting it go to WS .. as I said earlier, WS is too damned crowded already.) I see *nothing* to be gained by saying its going to be part of Geronimo at this point; so you see my bias already: go for its own TLP. However, if that appears to be the right thing upon graduation, then so be it. Note that this does not preclude ServiceMix, or *anyone else* from embracing and extending Apache Ode and living happily ever after. In fact, its *much better* for Apache Ode to be on its own because then its likely to be pluggable to more container frameworks and not just Geronimo/ServiceMix. Bye, Sanjiva. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
