Yes, other than covered by different license, not dominated by a single company is the major difference between AOO and OO.o. > The idea, this time around, would be to have members of CS2C, IBM and other > organizations (and I can think of a few) to have a place to coordinate, > learn, communicate in Chinese while also working with the Apache OO lists in > English. Localization would be essential. (ZH in China differs from that used > in TW; that can be accommodated: this is a linguistic effort, mostly.) It would be not necessary, if this is just for IBM and CS2C teams in Beijing. Cause it would be more effective for the two teams to have conference calls or meet in person. More importantly, CS2C team can contribute a lot more than UOF and CJK areas if they will. There is no way someone get limited in certain areas as long as he or she can prove to be qualified. At the beginning of this project, we discussed something about setting project leaders as it was in OO.o. But that is not how things work in Apache. Share two important aspect of Apache Way I get in mind. Contributors need prove themselves by contribution. Committer needs get mutual agreement within community before they commit any major changes in project. I think these are the keys to ensure the project can grow in a healthy way. > > I know that there are others, of course, who are doing this sort of > localization effort.
