RE: RE: [DISCUSS] Retire Milagro
Posted by Go Yamamoto <ya...@lab.ntt.co.jp>.
Thank you for guidance. Sorry, I was somewhat confused.
"We" means NTT in this context.
I understand Milagro project has some difficulty in releasing code at the
official repository.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro
The reason is not clear for me, however, if a new official repository
resolves the issue, then I think it is a good idea to install it.
For that purpose NTT is willing to work in managements.
Regards,
Go Yamamoto

Who is "we" in this case?
http://git.apache.org/ shows 11 repositories for Milagro.
