Idiotic question from complete Apache newbie: is the proposal that Apache should start hosting specs but would still host projectsimplementing foreign specs, or that Apache should stop hosting projectsimplementing non-Apache specs?
I haven't read anything as meaning that Apache would stop hosting projects implementing external specs. We would have to cancel most of the existing projects.
And we're circling around the idea of hosting spec-writing projects but haven't come close to understanding the implications. And it's not clear to me that the project that stimulated the discussion even wants to have a spec-writing component.

The only issue, as I see it, would be enforcement of compliance. And Roy even put forward a proposed license amendment for such things.As you saying that if the ASF would host the specification, that you and the rest of the AMQP IP holders would be willing to contribute and manage the specification here under ASF practices?I would be in favor of such an approach. Honestly, I would vastly prefer to have Open Specifications managed under ASF processes than under the JCP, OASIS, etc.+1--------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
