No, it not what is happening here. If Geronimo sponsored BPEL as a new podling, *then* it would be. What is happening here is a contribution being aimed at a specific set of developers on a specific podling in incubation. The match between the contribution and the podling is being questioned. > I think that is a different case. In that case we are talking about > two competing communities.

It also presents no barrier to people outside ServiceMix who might want to work on it without having to filter non-BPEL discussions. > I disagree.

Code contributed to Apache goes where the Apache community thinks it should go, not necessarily where the contributor does. In this case, the would-be contributor's desired destination is being challenged by people who think it should be handled elsewise. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQ/FHxprNPMCpn3XdAQLwYQP8DCtvrFvJ2rmQpLmBW4c56Gr88XmH9NH/ HvCeHCTxzem/cKkhe8aF8xrmc9HVxRv9abbSQ1e2GQcrmsnCqR9BkBN+pXZGUBsd fQ06YxZank/Dct/Dncc3NFDf2BpEEOPjUB33vyTX+StabdCImMDs6mc1QICvkv5Z bFhmiExIrGo= =Hss4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
