I read, once in a while, that Apache is about communities and not (just) code. What you have is just code, right?
I described the situation on the ASF members list, and several people piped up and said, 'labs.'
I read parts of that conversation, and didn't like that recommendation at all. Sorry, I don't have much time to engage on those conversations, or else I would have posted then. I believe that the people who said "labs" have an incorrect understanding of what labs is about. Maybe they think that Labs is the place for anything that isn't big enough to become a project of its own. But as I understand it, Labs is a playground for Apache committers, where they can develop code without growing a community first. You have code that is already done. Finished. Nothing to work on, or so I understood your situation. So I don't think that creating a lab just to have a target for a once-only code dump is appropriate. I would also suggest Google Code, or some other project hosting provider. Or you can put it on your private homepage at Apache. Without development going on, there is no need for version control and issue tracking, right? If there is an active Apache project in the future that is a fit for the code, then will be the right time to move it there. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
