+1 (non-binding)

... just to spite you :-P

(actually, since a +1 means I volunteer to do it, even though I don't
have access to the server I'd be more than happy to crack it and delete
the appropriate tree ;-)

Just out of idle curiousity, who are half these people? Okay, not really
half, but I don't recognize alot of them. Are some of these people just
general Apache/Jakarta bigwigs who get a vote on all subprojects, or are
more of them one-time committers who have just moved on?

Also, I agree with you, Pier, on the installer business. I realized that
by replying specifically to Remy's post that it might sound like I had a
problem with separate installers/custom distros (sorry about that Remy
;-). I agree that people should be able to package it up however they
like, and I was only arguing for their removal from the primary bin
tarballs and, by extension, the build process. That way there is at
least ONE way for people to easily grab a bin-only ball. People who run
custom installers (whether Remy's Windoze installer or Henri's RPMs),
OTOH, might very well expect to get the source to be there, and I
certainly think people should have the freedom to build custom
distributions however they like. That's a good catch, Pier, since the
binary balls (hehe) are the only thing the vote applies to.

There is a list of committers at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/whoweare.html,
won't be bad to have the "Apache" name there.

Some are old developers who moved on to other things in their life, some are
very bright guys who gave great input in the past and helped us out with
their guidance (even without committing code), and some... I have no clue
:-/ Like: who's "Vasile Gaburici"? Never heard of him...
It should be one of our tasks to keep that list clean, but...
