Thank Noel, for getting this done. Ted's been a great mentor and did make the point to us a couple of times. We were in a tight spot with having two completely separate repositories with different tools. Furthermore, it was by far the most disruptive part of the move. Ted would have had a hard time convincing us (especially me) to make such a committment before we had felt out the Apache incubator and the process. Moving to Apache is a big decision for an independent OSS project, and the code is all we have as a community. Thus we had protected it for the sake of our community, just as Apache will now. Regardless, we appreciate the criticality of having our code within the Apache infrastructure and in hindsight should have done it much sooner, if not first. I just didn't want Ted to take the heat for that. Best regards, Clinton Begin On Sun, 6 Feb 2005 12:50:58 -0500, Noel J.

Ted had first posted about migrating
the SVN repository on October 28th. Are you saying that the project wasn't
ready to move the repository at that time?
Although I do appreciate that moving to the ASF is a big decision, it is one
that has been made by many others, e.g., Beehive, Derby, Graffito,
JackRabbit, LDAPd, MyFaces, SpamAssassin, XMLBeans, etc.
Regardless, that is past now, and we agree on the importance of moving it
into the ASF Infrastructure. At this point, I need confirmation that the
SVN import into the test repository is acceptable, so that I can re-do it in
the live repository.

Thanks though,

Clinton to take any time off at all was the birth of his daugher Cameron on 30 Jan 2005. :) I'm sure sure he's
been making *very* good use of the downtime :)
