[POLL] Promoting compress and props Antlibs out of Sandbox?

[Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

in the meantime I realized that the props Antlib can do all the things
that I intended to do for the String => Resource mapping and also
provides an implementation of what I re-invented with ${ant.refid:} so
I'd love to see it come out of the sandbox and see it released
with/shortly after Ant 1.8.0.

The compress Antlib is mostly done and could be released together with
Ant 1.8.0 as well.

In order to get released they will need three PMC +1s just like they do
in order to leave the sandbox in the first place.  Are we going to find
three people who can find time to review releases and maybe - but just
maybe - contribute as well?

Somehow the PropertyHelper changes as far reaching as they are have
slipped under my radar until I revisited them because I wanted to
document them properly for the release.  Not sure whether more noise
would have helped.

There isn't much to know 8-)

Sounds like a deal.

I've added the props Antlib to Gump for starters.

Obviously I'd +1 a release of props as it was my baby and I always hoped it could be released with 1.8.0.  Even better would be if anybody else could get involved because I'm sure there are other propertyhelper delegates I haven't thought of that could be useful (or, maybe not).

I haven't followed the compress antlib, or commons component, really, having felt like I lacked expertise in the subject area, but I could possibly be guilt-tripped into putting in a little time to get up to speed, in quid pro quo RE props.  :)
