JMeter is primarily used for HTTP-related testing, and that is where the main development tends to be focussed. However it is not just about HTTP, so I'm not sure it fits into the proposed TLP. Which is a pity. There is certainly an active user base, but we are rather short of committers with time to spare at present. Basically just me and Alf. Not sure how many of the other committers are still around - apart from Peter Lin. The reason I'm not keen for JMeter to go TLP is mainly the lack of committer community. In Jakarta there are still some committers (apart from the HC crowd) who can (and do) test releases and vote on them. The wider net catches more people. Some of the same concerns apply to HC, but as a library, it has a much wider user-base. I think the smaller focus helps here. I'm not convinced that JMeter is capable of being a TLP on its own. > Oleg > > > > cheers, > > Roland > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
