[modeling-pmc] Re: JCRManagement Project Pre-Proposal

[Ed Merks <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sandro,

I did see that, but I didn't follow the discussion link and should have.
I think this probably argues that the best fit for this proposal would be
as part of the Apogee project.  Does that make sense to you, or are you
looking for something a little different?

Hi Ed,

thanks for your feedback. I had the same concerns when I heared about
Apogee. But I discussed it with them and found out, that they do have a
more high level scope and that the JCRM project could be useful for
them. You will find the details about it in the last chapter of my
proposal. Maybe you missed it as it is quite short. There is also a link
to the discussion in the mailing list where I still called my project
JCR Explorer.

Regards,

Sandro

PS: You don't need to work on the weekend for this proposal.
