i do believe that there's a definite problem here. there's too much energy wasted by everyone. the IPMC cannot actively oversee the code bases without automation. so, the only real oversight happens at release time. this is bad for everyone. really, we need to automatically scan and analyse the incubator codebases. i hope that http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/RatProposal may help - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
