And my opinion is that Day Software developers are working on the project because they are told to. I respect Day Software (and its employees) to a great deal, and have no problem with Sling being dominated by that company. In Pivot's case, it is NOT a company operation, IIUIC it used to be but way before it came to the Incubator, and has since lost the 'sponsorship' of the employer, hence I would claim that it has already proven itself against company dominance, so it should be seen as a group of individuals. Now, we are having 2 dominating individuals with a couple of support people, who dig up issues (perhaps not as good as sticking them into JIRA, but that is not a requirement AFAIUI), discuss them on list and together provide the way forward to a solution... I think we are in a good position, despite not having a corporate sponsor, and that Pivot can become one of the sexiest projects at ASF. It isn't the biggest project out there, which I think is good, after all a central use-case is over-the-wire deployment, so the 'commit space' is sometimes crowded. If Jukka's sentiment will rule, that we (the Mentors) have to request Greg and Todd to stop being too active, and give the others more time, space and chance to squeeze in their commits, then I think there is something inherently wrong with our requirements.
