Changed the subject since this also applies to other sub-projects in Jakarta as well; outside Commons. I think we should find a middle ground. There's something to be said about transparency as well. A biannual(?) vote maybe, of the type: <biannual-vote> Subject: [VOTE] Active projects within Jakarta foo I intend to contribute to (while we understand these are only best guess estimates): [ ] subproject bar [ ] subproject fubar ... </biannual-vote> Only +1s next to subproject names, a subproject that doesn't get a minimum number of votes (2?, even 1?) gets archived. IMO, while this brings the process in plain view, the possibility that this causes a surge in the traffic in personal mailboxes is probably not high. -Rahul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
