I think I'm also going to abstain from voting. Reasons: 1) First and foremost, the others have already mentioned that there's no need to choose between both options: we can have both*. 2) The possible contributions from Kirill's company. I think this is big news, and the best hope wiab has to make a big step forward. If moving away from apache can hurt this possibility in the slightest way, I can not vote to leave Apache. 3) Taking a wider picture, I still think Joseph's fresh start plan might be a better way to push wavey technology (I definitely prefer its design to wiab's). I wouldn't feel very comfortable deciding on wiab's future when I might be jumping wagon to this other project soon (when/if it actually goes ahead).
[*] which reminds me... if anyone is interested, the work-in-progress email bridge version of wiab has been available at github since the beginning: https://github.com/stenyak/wave/commits/maillist On 12/10/13 17:48, Upayavira wrote: > It seems to me that the time has come to make a decision here, and for > now, I'm going to ask that we consider just one simple question: > > * Should Wave stay within Apache, or leave. > > I'm going to ask that we postpone any discussion about either option > that isn't required to make the decision, until the vote is complete.
