Viewing it slightly more abstractedly: 1) We have areas of inactivity. 2) We don't notice those areas. 3) We are thusly unable to encourage increased activity. > I'm afraid it might be easy to misunderstand or ridicule this email, > point to the some Apache voting FAQ, and move on.

Even going inactive and trying to get active again, it's hard for me to pick up what's different in the release management etc. Documentation is one thing, so that if someone is able to find it they can follow it along, but we also need to work together on automation. It shouldn't be this hard etc :) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
