It would be useful but IMHO it's impossible to keep such a list up to date, or it's too much work. Am I active? I haven't committed code for many months, I'll most probably not work on 2.2 yet I'm helping here and there on the lists, and fixing the occasional bug. Go figure, 10% active maybe? What might be useful and easy to maintain would be a list where committers can voluntarily indicate what parts of Cocoon they're actively working on or interested in at the moment. A wiki page would be good enough for this, in addition to the "list of past and present committers" mentioned below.
... - the probably best source of information to find out whether a project and its committers are (in)active is looking at the mailing lists and the changes docs...
Big +1
- mainting a committers list containing the current activity state causes some bureaucracy for us. The less work we have the better.
+1 again I like the "list of past and present committers" at http://cocoon.apache.org/community/members.html but I would dump http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/who.html which is not up to date and probably inconsistent with the other one in places.
...So what do you think? (I will interpret "no answers" as "nobody cares" which is also an important information for us)..
I'm sure many of us care, thanks for getting the ball rolling. -Bertrand
