Hmm, please don't take this the wrong way. i am just trying to guide the discussions and stating the precedents and how things work. Such discussions can drag on, making it difficult to set up resources for infra stuff, getting commit privs to everyone involved etc.
FWIW, the first email about a corba donation was 6 months ago (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=geronimo-dev&m=112046915405363&w=2) and we still don't have a sub project :( /me just going to shut up now. Am sure you guys can handle this on your own. thanks, -- dims On 1/20/06, Sakala, Adinarayana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Adi, > > > > Is this a show stopper for you? > > I don't understand what you are asking.
