Changing the subject to keep the bylaws discussion separate from the
resolution discussion.

As we'd have periodic elections, is this really that important?  No
problem with it, though.

At least clarified, yes.  I think we should simply hook into what gets
put together by Ken (and others) for incubator.

I do have a personal opinion on the condition "if ant will have
sub-projects" and that is that we should avoid it for everything that
is not really closely related to Ant.  To me Gump would be out of
scope, far out of scope.  With that "closely related" in mind, in my
vision - that I certainly cannot and do not want to enforce - there
would only be a single community.

Possible, not sure.  If a task is closely related to a different
project it should go with that project IMHO.  Do we need another
commons project?

Technically we already have so inside the jakarta-ant module, open to
all Ant committers.  Do you envision something else here?

I'm not sure I follow you here.  How would the question whether Ant
had a sandbox affect your vote on the resolution?

In no way. 

I just like the little details cleared and 'the whole picture' 
before the vote takes place.
