+1 I'm sorry that the chief advocates of this code still do not see the actual flaws in the development methodology. I really believe that the language barrier is a significant obstacle in discussing code on list and part of the reason this project still isn't functioning correctly, even though these advocates have been reminded over and over what must happen to survive as an ASF project. If the advocates wish to run this project in a transparent, collaborative and open Apache-like way, a Chinese language development discussion list and more liberal granting of commit access for the students terms could make a lot of sense. This need not happen at the ASF itself, but could be replicated anywhere. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any effort to run this in an ASF-like collaborative way, so this project doesn't belong here. The issue of creating localized development discussion lists is another matter that could have been pursued, and may one day happen for one project or another, but I don't think it would be very fruitful to further force a round peg in a square hole. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
