First off, as we've seen with other projects that have gone through Incubation, we have not chosen to avoid areas where others have projects. Simply put, if there is interest from a community, we seek to be supportive. If this proposal goes through, and the ASF chooses to incubate OO.o, everyone w

Incubator Board Report April 2011

2011-04-18 Thread Noel J. Bergman
A remarkably quiet month in general, with no Board level issues. One project, Apache OGNL (http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OGNLProposal) is under consideration. JSPWiki, Olio and VXQuery did not report. Neither did SocialSite, but that was previously voted into dormant status.
