Henri, Jakarta commons did vote on this issue, though somewhat informally
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107738818700001&r=1&w=2 Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Henri Yandell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 13:52 To: Jakarta Project Management Committee List Cc: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: Fwd: [VOTE][PROPOSAL][RESULT] Promote HttpClient to Jakarta Level The PMC don't need to vote on it, just to be aware of it, for the Chair to tell the board in his notes and to ratify the move. However, some may feel that the vote should take place on commons-dev and not on commons-httpclient-dev. I'm +1 for the move, so not too bothered at where the vote has happened.
