I don't mean to put words into Andy's mouth, but the way I read his post he's saying that before the donation HornetQ had a fair amount of heterogeneity, and now that the donation has occurred there are encouraging signs that the heterogeneity is carrying over into the ActiveMQ community.
Clearly there are lines of distinction between those in the ActiveMQ community who are familiar with donated code-base and those that aren't, but (I feel) the community is united in its desire to deliver a quality messaging solution. In general I think that any community with a sufficiently large code-base will have lines of distinction between developers who are familiar with certain areas of the code and those that aren't, but I don't think that necessarily means there are separate communities. I imagine there are already at least a few Apache communities where this is true. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/DISCUSS-HornetQ-ActiveMQ-s-next-generation-tp4693781p4694010.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
