Hi,

I have to agree with Kevan, to the casual onlooker it may seem that
DeviceMap is sort of forking itself partly on GitHub...

I understand this is mainly due to technical issues with
infrastructure. I'm not in a position to comment either way seeing as
I'm not familiar with the platforms/frameworks/...
But I see Kevan's point and the valid objections that can and probably
will be raised.

For DeviceMap to be part of the larger Apache community has clear
advantages. However if the DeviceMap community thinks the
infrastructure issues are such that they impede DeviceMap's progress,
so be it. My primary interest lies with device and user-agent
detection, keeping the 'art' alive and 'out there' [queue violins etc].

I may have missed a few mails -- recently more mail ex-apache.org has
bounced here -- but I did pick up something like "ODDR might be dead
(trying to confirm this)".
That would make the data issue all the more acute.
It is definitely something I like to know more about, very ASAP !

I also think that with regard to the data, apart from the technical
infrastructure issues surrounding setting up a site, CRUD etc, other
issues come into play.
One of them would be quality control, another involves policies
communities like Apache set up and enforce to protect them from legal
trouble like the ones I understand ODDR saw in the past.

So, there's activity in the DeviceMap community alright, only I wish I
knew whether it is the right kind and what the deal is with ODDR...
