See the history. We have tried that on various occasions. Surely we can re-use some of this from Maven if we want to do something in the future. > I am fine with this (in fact there is nothing to stop Maven taking the > code anyway). Yes, but better to be clean handover rather than a lingering copy. This code has been through many homes, so obviously is valuable. We need to have a clear trail. > It is not being developed here and Vincent has done more work on it in > the last week than we have in years.

That would be the next step. After we are sure that we want it moved out, then we can formulate a proposal to Maven. Sorry, my final "propose" sentence was poorly worded. I am away for a long long weekend from this afternoon. We don't want to hold up Vincent, so if someone feels that positive consensus is reached, then please start that process to link up with last month's thread from him and the Maven people. Otherwise please start a Forrest vote for clarification. -David
