Niclas, I am not sure about your statement: " is very vague and encompassing. When read, it could mean anything", because it has specifically mentioned that the a Project Management Committee will be created to maintain open source project related to persistence, storage, and retrieval middleware for relational and NoSQL databases. I dont think it could mean "anything", for example it couldnt be interpreted as project about MVC framework. Could you be more specific about your concern?
I also dont understand what do you mean by "one would ask why has that expanded here" ? - Henry On Sat, Dec 17, 2011 at 6:16 PM, Niclas Hedhman <nic...@hedhman.org> wrote: > I think the Board might have an issue with the 'purpose' of the > project (I would if I was in the Board).
