Thank Noel, for getting this done.  

Ted's been a great mentor and did make the point to us a couple of
times.  We were in a tight spot with having two completely separate
repositories with different tools.  Furthermore, it was by far the
most disruptive part of the move.  Ted would have had a hard time
convincing us (especially me) to make such a committment before we had
felt out the Apache incubator and the process.

Moving to Apache is a big decision for an independent OSS project, and
the code is all we have as a community.  Thus we had protected it for
the sake of our community, just as Apache will now.

Regardless, we appreciate the criticality of having our code within
the Apache infrastructure and in hindsight should have done it much
sooner, if not first.  I just didn't want Ted to take the heat for
that.

Best regards,

Clinton Begin
