Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what the "Java and .NET clients are a bit of
a moving target" refers to.
With the exception of the recent refactoring of the Loaders with the
intent to release, the 'core' code has been unchanged in the
repositories for well over a year.

The .Net version of the API has been running on that core code using
that data for well over a year too.

And no, the W3C API is not implemented in the service. That API is
*maybe* a nice pedagogical tool, but *useless* in the 'real' world.

That it runs on a server 'here', I think is irrelevant really.
It's 'faster' for me and I know of no Apache Infra I can access with
the same ease for my .Net stuff. I don't mind, I stay within the given
parameters of the licensing and what the Apache community finds
acceptable and I'm happy to commit the resources and the result.
I could 'complain' about 'open source' being .net unfriendly etc
etc...but that's not the point, and this neither the place nor the
time, true or not. I do my 'open source' bit, that others go on and on
about "POM", "Jenkins" etc...sure, I'll take my lumps...

I find the recent Java-'popery' upsetting because it clearly and
*quite rightly* upset one of the *major* contributors and
Java-contributor !

I find it doubly upsetting because I now am forced to consider my
position, upsetting my 'open source' bit and possibly disrupting
something I care about and contribute to.

Not a happy camper,

esjr
