The problem I see is that currently Geir is the major coordinator and the other "committers" are just lurking and only doing minor commits in things that itch them. Other issues and proposals are left to Geir to decide...
I would at least expect the other comitters voting such that the Jakarta rules can be applied and one of the committers has the chance of becoming active. If Geir votes -1, then other committers are stopped. I guess that all of us that have done proposals in the past and question why nothing happened, should resubmit it again now to get the ball rolling again - for 1.4. Since I've been on the list and contributing code, patches and user support since the very beginning of velocity, would the committers welcome me into the team? - I guess that one of them could/should start a thread "[VOTE] Christoph Reck as a committer to Velocity"... -- :) Christoph Reck Gabriel Sidler wrote: > Nobody can blame Geir for this delay.
