Simon, in a prior email, you referred to a "negotiation". Forgive me, but that indicates a fundamental problem with a frame of reference. There exists people here who will volunteer to set up a subversion repository. There exists people here who will commit to maintaining such on ASF infrastructure. Simon, you've indicated that there are people who might be willing to host git repositories on other infrastructure. Of course, they are welcome to do so. If there are people who are willing to work with the ASF infrastructure team directly, they will be provided with the opportunity to do so. Just be aware that others have tried in the past and to date the results can most charitably be described as "inconclusive" at this time. That doesn't mean that others aren't welcome to try. If that is what is desired, the first step is to join infrastructure-...@apache.org. Meanwhile, those that are willing to set up a subversion repository are welcome to do so. And those that are willing to begin importing code into that repository can begin once that is done. > S. - Sam Ruby
