There's been a lot of confusion in the outside world about JAXB, and it sounds like that was due to plenty of confusion inside the JAXB world... On the other hand, the ASF is really about projects with existing bases of vibrant communities, not projects looking for a home. In some cases, I'd rather start a new project with a bunch of committed developers that was only beta code, rather than a solid product with only one or two developers. It's the dedication and organization of the communities themselves that makes Apache work - code just happens to be the way it's expressed. My personal suggestion would be to start your project at your existing site or sourceforge, and then once you've built up a community of developers who show commitment to the project, come back to general@xml with your project proposal again. In any case, please let us know how your project goes! A JAXB implementation community would be a great addition to the xml.apache.org umbrella. ===== - Shane __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
