This discussion has naturally brought in a lot people and views from outside the Apache community, whose interest in us has been triggered by circumstances not of their making. Many of them are potential future valued contributors to our community, while others may prefer TDF and take no further part after this discussion. Whilst your references should be essential reading in due course for those who stay, we should not raise too high a bar to those whose interest is OOO/TDF but who are new to and maybe undecided on ASF participation! -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent. http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
