The next month is going to be weird, so my tentative ness is from not wanting to commit any time. My Internet time dives, and there are board elections happening in a couple of weeks so the board who pick up the tabled motion are not the same as the board who tabled it.
<snap/> OK.
You've got the right idea though, show the value of a testing.apache.org community to the ASF, and the wide interest in it.
<snip/> This is the part that is still a bit fuzzy to me. For me, a mere look around us reveals the kind of wide interest and cross-pollination that is beginning to happen in the testing space (and it is quite an exciting space at this time, IMO). Since Struts was mentioned, the Shale "Test Framework" is being (re)used by MyFaces, a nice example where testing ideas and code are cross-cutting project boundaries. It is time we provided a first class project at the ASF around testing, but I'm not sure what this "showing value" is? Indeed, what is the deliverable?
It's less convincing me, and more putting together something to convince the board that doesn't require me to do sales (as I won't be able to listen in on the next board meeting I think).
<snap/> But it will require someone to do the sales by the looks of it. -Rahul
