It came from pure frustration from the fact that *nothing* ever gets done here. What are the PMCs for anyway? Why can't they vet the code for whatever reason because that's who ends up doing it in the incubator anyway.

If we don't know who this is already or we don't know the responsible member well enough then what the hell do we have? I don't want people nobody knows to walk in and become an officer of the board but someone has to know these people coming in. Ultimately we are trusting the people involved with the project anyway. Do you know any of the Geronimo people personally? Or the Ruper people? Probably not, I know I don't. So if we don't trust the people interested in bringing the code in then we don't have anything anyway. > > Sander > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
