Maybe when the project graduates with a full pmc someone can take responsibility for these external links to the wider ecosystem. In ASF what was considered the community in OOo (marketing distribution etc) seems to be considered the wider ecosystem so we might need a little time to adjust to different structures. In the end we need people outside the immediate code development effort to develop ideas for increasing take up and to do that needs to minimise barriers while at the same time keeping things like the branding secure. > -- > gw > >> >> -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
