[OJB-developers] [status] moving ojb to apache

[Martin P. <mpo...@ma...>]

ojb is accepted as an apache project :-)

there is some discussion on the general@jakarta.apache.or list if it makes sense to start a new 
'main' project (something like db.apache.org which includes all db-related projects)
ojb would be the leading app (like tomcat for jakarta)

db.apache.org will have it's own PMC, site, ...

other candidates for db.apache.org are:
- torque http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/torque
- axion http://axion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectHome
- db pools from jakarta-commons

what do you think??

do you prefere to move ojb to jakarta.apache or db.apache???
