As a contributor to and user of commons-codec, I'm voting -1. My reasons, as I've described in more detail on the apache-commons list and probably others, are:
1) a-c organization: I think the organizational structure of apache-commons (one list per component, balkanized karma rights, etc.) is bad for those components technically and socially, and possibly bad for the ASF from an oversight perspective. 2) subversion: I think moving tiny components to subversion first (i.e., before larger projects), creates social issues for those components. (see <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.commons.general/127> for more on this) I assume this is a majority vote, not a consensus one, so this is just a vote, not a veto. (If this is to be a concensus vote, I can probably be persuaded to change my vote to -0. I don't really want to block this move if the majority really want to do it, I just think it is a bad idea at this time.) - Rod On Fri, 19 Dec 2003, Tim O'Brien wrote: > Codec, a small - probably the smallest - piece of code in Jakarta-land. > Is well suited for inclusion in Apache Commons.
