I don't see how it's that different than what happens with commercial entities doing "releases" of our stuff. Cloudera, Lucid, etc. grab the trunk and release - no one's confused by it. Jochen set's up a simple website declaring "Jochen's JaxMe" and provides a download for it.

I'd rather *not* pursue an *Apache* Release of labs software - it goes against most everything we stand for (e.g. community over code and all...) --tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
