personally, i think this is due to mis-set expectations -- and no, i'm not going to go into why nor how they may have been set incorrectly. all code in the asf belongs to the foundation, which is comprised of its members. the members own the code and own the direction. the committers get a shot at working on it; good committers become members and thus get a piece of thw ownership of the code and the direction. commit access is a privilege, not a right; it's based on trust. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
