Hi Pei,

How can you say in one statement that there are over 50 developers that con=
tribute to cTAKES, and that
a handful of you "represent" those 50 developers? At least that's the way I=

Apache isn't a hierarchy where sites from an external entity like SHARPn ha=

in the Apache version of the project.=20

We are all individuals at Apache, and we participate here as individuals.=20

OK, so why say 50 then?=20

Cheers,
Chris
