[Zope3-dev] [Zope3 / ECM] : Project launched !

[Maik Röder]

Hi Lennart,


(I'm sending a copy of this mail to z3lab at lists. _nuxeo_ .com. I'd 
prefer discussing this on zope-3dev at zope.org though.)

How do you plan to make sure that people don't get the impression that
this is a Nuxeo project?

How do you make sure that people don't get the impression that the
project is not in neutral hands? Do you plan to create dome kind
of neutral foundation?

How do you make sure that people don't fear that one company practically
controls the code, making it a caricature of Open Source?
