Anyone can vote. It is good to hear the opinions of developers. As usual the binding votes are those of PMC members. Using "Consensus approval": http://forrest.apache.org/guidelines.html#approvals The vote will run for the normal one week and so finish at midnight UTC on 2005-05-10 http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?year=2006&month=05&day=11 Please vote on these two proposals: A) Remove each mention of "Active" from guidelines.html B) Remove the separation of "active" committers from who.html -David
