I'm interested in doing whatever it will take to get people using the library or who should be using the library more involved in development. At first I thought that moving into Jakarta Commons might do that, then when Apache Commons started up I thought maybe that was the right place. Now it looks like Jakarta Commons is the right place again, although it would be nice not to have to change the package names. As far as trying, the best I've been able to do is make some noises, but I haven't taken much action under the theory that a couple of other people would lead the charge like happened with Commons Net. >happening in the ORO project in terms of developers? Several important contributions were made by some users, but the contributions didn't keep on coming, so I've never called for a vote on granting committership despite their having expressed interested in becoming committers. So despite the contents of the avail file, we're back into a situation where I'm probably the only active committer (and I only make contributions in widely spaced bursts). I think the committer deficit problem would be solved easily if some existing Apache committers who have needs that can be satisfied with jakarta-oro can be convinced to hack the code a little. I've also thought that jakarta-oro and jakarta-regexp ought to interact more and have the same committer base, but I've never started a campaign for that. Asking jakarta-regexp if they're interested in implementing the regexp wrapper engine for oro might get that started. For now though, if I can squeeze enough time out to do the couple of simple things to meet VFS's needs, that may be enough to get more involvement and work things out (whether oro sits where it is or moves partially or completely into jakarta commons). daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
