It is a gray area, but when it was discussed the consensus was that it was the work of ASF Committers and being brought into the JAMES community as a separate codebase, but within a single community of Committers, not a separate project or sub-project, so it was done as an IP Clearance. Amongst the various reasons for recording IP Clearance in a central location is that it provides wider oversight in case someone wants to raise a flag. jSPF, for example, is a peer of MIME4J, and was bootstrapped from code we received from the outside, but the contributor did not come with the code, as he has no time to participate. We took that entirely within JAMES, where development is done by existing JAMES committers. We've recently reorganized the JAMES web site to highlight the other components, not just the JAMES server, and certainly welcome additional participation. Geronimo has asked about transferring responsibility for the JavaMail implementation. It might be appropriate. And one or two folks working on Commons E-Mail have started to look at MIME4J. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
