Pete's comment was the catalyst for my current comment.
Perhaps we could learn from the Rexx Language Association (RexxLa).
The main site is: http://www.rexxla.org/
They have been around and been very useful for years. About 2 years ago
IBM released their very fine and powerful Object Rexx to RexxLa for
release as an open source project.
RexxLa renamed the product to Open Object Rexx (ooRexx) andstarted the
site: http://www.oorexx.org/.
They also use SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=119701.
Most of the RexxLa home site is open to the public. Some of it is
available only to dues paying members ($25 per year). The forum for
members is excellent, very professional. Most people in the forum are
professional programmers around the world. Discussions are always on
point and useful.
In general, they have some working policies and procedures.
My point? IBM recently did something like what Rob is doing. We could
probably learn from that experience. The RexxLa has already dealt with
the kinds of licensing issues (and other issues) that are coming up on
the EUforum. If their model is good and I think that it is, then lets
look at them, and see what we can learn.
