And Mark Shuttleworth is for Ubuntu, and as much as I respect Mark, right
now they are shoving a particular change down the throats of the Ubuntu
community that only Mark and MPT actually want, at least in the timeframe it
is being forced.  Were it an ASF project, someone would have vetoed the code
change long ago, and forced the discussion to allow *community* involvement.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Click graduation

2009-05-04 Thread Eelco Hillenius
I'm a bit late to this discussion, but nevertheless would like to
throw in my opinion.

As far as I know Click, the project has been stable for a while, and
doesn't encompass a crazy amount of code, and it's ambitions as a
framework are humble compared to some of the other projects mentioned
in this thread. I wouldn't be too worried about this project having a
relatively small PMC/ community if they spend their time mostly on
maintaining their code base, with maybe a little tweaking here and
there.

That said, I agree with most here that Click should show that there is
at least a little bit of movement in it's community, as that's one of
the main ideas behind incubation, right?

My 2c,

Eelco
