Looks good. Should help keep us organized; I'll add it to my list of things to monitor and if we add it into the release instructions I'm sure it'll become organic. > > Basically, my question is what can we do to manage commons better, short > > of dividing it? Our basic resource is time. So we can organize our time more efficiently (ie the various wiki pages that are going up), we can decrease the effort needed to do tasks (release - automation, develop - find a way to allow dependencies) and we can increase the amount of time available (more committers). Dividing might need to happen someday, I've some thoughts on that that I'm bouncing off of people at ApacheCon before posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've a mad scheme :) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
