HttpClient – Moving On Up

The vote to start the motion of HttpClient out of jakarta-commons to become a fully fledged Jakarta sub-project has been declared passed. I’ve just done up an initial draft of the proposal that will need to be put to the Jakarta PMC to approve the move (they noted that it was coming and that it was most likely to pass at the meeting they just recently had). This is the first bit of Apache “politics” I’ve been involved in so I’ll be interested in the feedback. I’m just not sure if it’s considered politics when everyone agrees as they seem to do so often on the HttpClient list. It’s good to have a team that’s working so well together.
