The ASF doesn't suffer from the "not coded here" mentality. Many of our successful projects and codebases have originally started life elsewhere. As far as I know, even though internal (to the ASF) development of perchild "languished", we did accept patches, etc. So if anyone had wanted to continue working on it, they could have done what countless other developers have done and submitted patches, etc... That's the start towards getting ASF commit privs, becoming a contributor, a PMC member and an ASF member. If Metux would like to donate the code to the ASF, then incubator.apache.org would be a good link to check out first. -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "There 10 types of people: those who read binary and everyone else."
