RE: Where to place Agora?

I would like to see Agora become an asf project, via some means (probably
incubation)....

Re: Where to place Agora?

Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>.
Because this is a project (as I understand it, Java and Mozilla aren't 
friends) for analyzing a community, how about community@ getting a PMC, 
becoming a project and managing sourcebases which have to do with 
managing/analyzing community...  After incubation of course, but it 
seems like a logical way to solve...a few problems :-)
