Krysalis has changed a lot in this last year. I have been thinking quite 
a lot these days 'bout it, and therefore I come up with this modest 
proposal about it's future.

Analysis
--------

- Many projects have moved to Apache.
- Developers have changed.
- A single place where to develop confuses users.
- I cannot continue being the sole copyright holder but we don't have 
enough motivation or energy to make a legal association.

Proposal
--------

I propose that Krysalis changes fully into what it already basically is: 
a place for Apache-like developed projects that share community 
practices and communities themselves.

Therefore:

1 - all projects move to their own SF home, with their dev, user and cvs 
lists; the package names may be org.krysalis.* while the project remians 
part of krysalis; the project must keep some sort of visual affiliation 
with krysalis (group logo)

2 - each project has it's own copyright holder(s) (usually the original 
authors), but any way not necessarily a single entity for all

3 - every project shares the same community rules and license, and 
agrees that such rules and license are to be decided by the Krysalis 
PMC. If the original author(s) do not follow such decisions, they cannot 
remain part of the Krysalis Community Project (we cannot really force 
them to abide to it necessarily, as they are the copyright holders)

4 - the Krysalis community project itself is a project run like the 
others, but it's decisions have to be implemented and recieved by all others

5 - PMC members of the Krysalis community project must be made admins of 
each project that takes part in the community effort

6 - change this dev list to general@

7 - remove the krysalis user list


                             - 0 -

I think that this will help krysalis become more in line with what it's 
doing and will do in the future, and help it become the path to 
"Apacheness" that it is starting to prove to be.
