Normally it is people who have something they want to exist, and this is something we support. How do you see it possible that we take "something" without people, and make it grow ? sounds quite impossible to me. But if there are people around this "something" willing to make it grow, that is what we call a community. With a community "something" can come to apache. Please understand there is a fundamental difference between apache and e.g. github. - In apache, you need a community (people who believe in the project), but can come without code at all - in Github, you come with code, and see if others get interested in using it. It is 2 different ways of starting great software with different benefits and disadvantages, rgds jan i. > > Stefan >
