At the risk of getting shoes thrown at my by my fellow mentors ... I know something about the field of endeavour of this podling -- that's why I volunteered. I think that it is a very interesting question as to how many qualified, interested, potential committers are out there. Much of the work in the field is academic, and professors tend to keep their <del>slave labor</del> graduate students otherwise occupied. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but, in a sense, that's the question posed by this podling: who's out there? Ironically, I might be writing a proposal this week for funding to assign people of mine to work on it, but there's no telling where that will go. > > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
