I do take the point that there are no "project leads" in ASF and if Click were to go throught the incubator process and become a fully fledged ASF project that this would change. The project would follow the Apache mediocrity rules. I genuinely belive that this would be a good thing, long running projects need new ideas and new people to continue to move them forward.
Thanks for indicating that you are clear on this; I withdraw my -1 and throw a +1 for incubation. Thanks for letting us know that you are already aware of how this will affect the management of Click. The edit to the proposal wasn't as strictly necessary, but that suggestion is a pointer to other people reading [EMAIL PROTECTED] So if their effort comes from a similar project history with a strong 'leader', they can avoid these discussions by making things clear early with their proposal document :)
The brief summary of the project history in the proposal does make the community role look more shallow than it is. If you view the projects change history: http://click.sourceforge.net/docs/roadmap-changes.html you can see the diversity of the contributions from community members made over the life of the project.
I never doubted that there is diversity in the project :) My concern was only in how the project was run and how the project would decide what changes could go into Click when things were contentious, or maybe didn't match your vision of how it should move forward. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
