It is called evolution. If patches were streaming on for 1.3 it would be a no-brainer to 're-open' the 1.3 tree. Re-opening is a misnomer IMHO. The tree was declared in maintenance mode, meaning no new features, only bugfixes. We could lift that restriction if there was real development effort instead of just talk. > (I guess if you start your own repository, you can no longer call it > Apache, but any other name of an american indian tribe should be ok. :) Careful there. American Indian tribes take pride in their name, which should be taken into consideration. Don't just go picking any name. As for calling a fork 'Apache', indeed you can't. I personally wonder about the market for a fork. If people aren't showing up here with feature requests and patches, then why would you think they will show up elsewhere? Sander > -- Sami Tikka >
