And I don't recall seeing it on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hunh. I just searched the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives for "wsrp4j" (case
insensitive). I found ZERO references to wsrp4j in the May/June/July
timeframe.

Also searched the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive since it was started, and I
found ZERO references.

So how exactly was this projected "accepted"? I see zero discussion before
Ken's post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That seems *very* inappropriate.

Fair enough, but Sam isn't the decision maker on whether something gets
accepted, and not necessarily on where it goes. Especially when there has
been zero discussion.

I'm not too concerned about having the dependent code *at* the ASF, since we
usually have dependencies on external things. However, I *do* think a
necessary precondition is that it becomes available with an ASL-compatible
license before the incubation is accepted.

My binding vote is -1 until we see the dependency made available. After
that, +1 assuming that the WS PMC votes to actually accept the thing
post-incubation.

I'm also a -1 on the apparent process on how this "arrived" at the
Incubator.
