I have two concerns about http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BlueSky: > ...weekly development summary on this web site: > http://www.p12.edu.cn/ (Currently, only available in mainland of China)... I think we need a committment from the BlueSky team that all information and artifacts related to the project will be available worldwide. I know nothing about how things work in China in this respect, but having parts of the project segregated is not acceptable, IMHO. That might make some community members second-class citizens if they don't have access to everything. > ...Documentation > All in Chinese now... In the same vein, we need to make it very clear that all project-related communications have to happen in english on the ASF mailing lists and websites. I don't think the ASF would be able to provide the necessary oversight for anything happening in Chinese, just as we don't support other languages at the moment. Sorry if I sound negative, I agree that the goals of the project are important, but I also see a risk of creating a project that might live on its own island, with very little ties to the rest of the ASF. I'm not saying it's impossible, but IMHO we have to make sure that the necessary agreements are in place before going further. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
