Seems to me that theres a serious community issue here in TomcatLand - with two committers taking chunks out of each other. Maybe its not yet time to highlight this to the board - but I don't see anything being tried to bring these two back to a point of co-operation and mutual respect (my suggestion - get the Travel Assitance Committee to pay for their airfare to the next Hackathon so they can sit down and talk face-to-face over several beers). Just my 2 cents as an outsider. Niall > Thanks, > Mladen > > Apache Tomcat Board Report, September 2007 > > Summary > -------------- > The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
