Personally, I'd prefer to have Cayenne in DB rather than as a separate TLP, mainly for communication reasons with DB-related projects. E.g. I don't see that much communication between the DB projects and, say, iBatis or the Geronimo DB stuff (thuogh that might be because I'm not actively involved in all DB projects). And IMO DB being an umbrella is quite a different thing than for instance Jakarta, though that's another issue. That being said, whether Cayenne will be a TLP or a DB subproject is not important until it graduates from incubation, right ? And I'm +1 on incubating it with the DB PMC as sponsor. cheers, Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
