The biggest reason you see Cayenne more ObjectStyle-oriented than
ASF-oriented at the moment is due to the fact that work on the Cayenne
1.2 release was well underway when incubation occurred. Work has been
done on both sides (issue tracking and subversion are now at ASF, but
wiki/docs are still on OS for now). We decided a while back that the
1.2 release would be done as an OS release (org.objectstyle.cayenne
package names, for example) and then when 1.2 went final, use it as the
cutover baseline to ASF. This will help existing users of the product
since they won't have to change all of their imports/etc. I know Andrus
is itching to get 1.2 out the door so we can make the ASF cutover and do
a full release out of incubation.
As for having 1 wiki page "private" out of the hundreds of pages on the
wiki, that doesn't strike me as too bad. Access was never denied to
anyone who wanted to see the announcement he was working on. The page
and what it was about was announced publicly. He was just looking for
some verbage feedback. Nothing sinister at all. A wiki is simply
easier for that type of information and the page will be unlocked very
soon.

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!" :)
