Just make sure you use the apache license! I think the idea/concept of Digester is big enough to merit a TLP (or group of them). And, since it's an XML-specific technology, I think it belongs within the XML group. Then again, I'm no expert here, but it seems an obvious fit to me.

IMHO better to start coding now: there's always the possibility of moving to apache later. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
