Yup. One of the reasons that I suggested adding committers ASAP. The more you wait, the more you reinforce this. You've got a lot of people banging on the door, more than willing to help. Open it, already. And do it on your own terms rather than having the PMC do it. > reality, many of the project management issues have arisen because the > current committers are not used to working together and are new to the > Apache Way.

The notion of "current committers are not used to working together" is a red herring. You're already working with the community at large. It has nothing to do with the current set of committers. I would recommend coming up with, say, a list of four people and submit that list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for consideration. How about by end of week? If you don't want to do this, then let's hear a discussion about why. My previous emails on this subject have gone unanswered. :-( Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
