I think that the case for not hosting this in either ActiveMQ or Qpid is that this effort is not actually targeted at wither of these projects specifically... It is a project in itself to work on a useful building block for AMQP1-0 implementations. ActiveMQ and/or Qpid may later choose to use this, as may any other project wanting to use AMQP1-0. Hosting within either of the existing projects may obscure the purpose of this effort and confuse people in believing that the work is associated with a particular broker/client. Vendor independence really means not being hosted on a site operated by one of the vendors involved. Apache (via incubator or otherwise) clearly fulfills this criterion -- Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
