I think I can put this to rest. I have been involved with the Apache HTTP Server project for 12+ years, and in that time have committed perhaps 5 code changes. The rest of my participation has been documentation. I am a full committer, and have the same rights and privileges accorded to other members of the project. Documentation contributors are given the same respect and karma that is given to code contributors. -- Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com rbo...@apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
