What about TCL then? I wouldn't actually care if there is one umbrella project or six. But it seemed like the ASF was trying to organize things along platform lines. Should we think about merging with PHP too? Should there actually be umbrella Apache Projects at all? Maybe having proved ourselves, perhaps each product should now stand on its own, as the HTTP Server does. And there would be one PMC for them all. Again, don't care.

Likewise with having things like POI in XML land, that Jartian products might use. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Building Java web applications with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
