    I tend to agree. Despite the amount of good solid work being
    done on the Project, I'm not seeing it really *becoming*
    an ASF project. Private Wikis, external infrastructure and
    what appears to be slow lagging transition towards
    "just" the ASF are items that need to be addressed.

    It's like someone engaged to be married but still dating
    their old girl-friend. "I'm breaking it off... really, I
    am!" :)
