We need to keep encouraging them to see the value for all, by being interested in the management of their own project. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
