Not an issue for me either. That fact that OpenOffice is under incubation at Apache has been leading tech news for nearly a year now. People who know nothing else about Apache know this fact. > So, while this is not a problem for me, if it is likely IPMC will request an > RC2 over this we should know now. > But worth taking it through the voting process, IMHO, to see if there are any other issues. One big issue or several smaller ones could be enough for us to kill the vote prematurely. But it would be extremely inefficient to waste 48-hours preparing another RC every time someone finds a single thing that is not consistent with the self-contradictory draft incubation guidelines. There is no better time than the present to do a complete review. -Rob > Regards, > Dave > >> >> -Rob >> >>> The SDK and Binaries are missing the DISCLAIMER file.
