+1 on the TLP proposal. +0 on me as VP (I'm willing, but don't consider this a prerequisite to TLP-ness), although I should point out that this is actually only a *recommendation* to the ASF Board. The Board is free to appoint whomever they wish, although they've historically tended to go along with the community's recommendations in this regard.
Craig (And +1 on adding Joe to the list -- sorry about that!) Quoting Martin Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Following up on a brief thread on this list in December [1], Craig, Ted > and I have put together a draft resolution to the board of directors [2], > along with a cover letter [3], that would promote Struts to an Apache > top-level project (TLP). > > The main reasons for moving to a TLP are described on the wiki [4].
