Ting Peng and Incubator PMC, please review/update as needed and report back any concerns. This is a work in progress... comments , contributions and clarifications are most welcome :-) http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BlueSky Bluesky includes some GPL code taken from mmpeg and wplayer. Removing these dependencies (or isolating them appropriately) will take quite a bit of time. I want to advance this discussion quickly to the point where we can decide whether, in principle, we want to accept this project into incubation. If we think this will make a good ASF project (and one for which we can provide adequate over-site), let's encourage the XJTU team to begin the work on removing the GPL dependencies and internationalizing the front end. I'm very interested in this project for a couple of reasons: First, the goals of the project, if achieved, will improve the lives of many people. Second, this seems like a great opportunity to build out the diversity of the ASF. I am willing to invest a good deal of time to help make this project successful at the ASF. Mentors, please sign up :-) Regards, Bill Stoddard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
