DRAFT Sanselan incubator status report for October 2007

[Craig L Russell <Cr...@Sun.COM>]

Please comment:

Sanselan entered incubation on 2007-08-27. The project is ramping up.

Mailing lists have been set up.

The svn repo has been created at incubator/sanselan.

Apache ids have been created for the original committers cmchen and  
pkoch and given access to the svn repo.

Discussion is underway on on the dev alias on the structure of the  
project. Agreement has been reached to use jackrabbit as the template  
for the repo and a proposal is pending.

Anything else?

This won't work as an attachment to email (our spam filter removes  
attachments) but you can open a JIRA issue and attach it.

I've created an issue to which you should be able to attach your  
patch. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-1

See if you can upload a patch. If you have any trouble, we can start  
from there.

   I've prepared a patch with the initial code drop & a rough stab at
the pom.xml, etc.

   What's the best way to share this patch?  As an attachment to the
mailing list?  As a Jira issue?  It is 164kb zipped.
