This is not meant to be an insulting, language-argument question, but is this a fundamental difference between httpd and Jakarta? When you said higher in this mail that 1 or 2 developer projects should not be TLP's, I was going to say that no Commons project out of the sandbox are likely to be so small [though I imagine there are exceptions]. Having also heard that APR was largely the work of one developer (?), do we have a fundamental different in that Jakarta is more of a bazaar, which explains the lack of centralisation that might be found in httpd? I'm just wondering. Despite great desire, I've never found time to get into httpd modules etc, so have never seen how the other half live. Are you guys less anarchic, more controlled, and designed for a lot less active developers per codebase? Hen
