I agree, 'commons' is maybe not the best example..'Jakarta' probably is
more suited to what I meant.
My point was simply to say that it needs to be more apparent that MINA
is not really related to Directory but is a *real* project on its own,
like if you go to the Apache web page, user can see it listed without
needing to go to directory.
At the same time a TLP really is supposed to be for a very mature
project and means that whatever happens the project can auto-feed itself
which is very challenging and should remain like that.
For the records, originally, (Brett wasn't there yet but he can ask
Jason for history  , Maven was under Turbine.
The beginning though, was a bit more ...hem...frantic, but if I remember
well it started in with a [maven] tag in turbine mailing list in January
or February 2002 (maybe even december 2001) and by April it had its own
mailing list and was flooded by commits.
