Hi Oleg,

I have been following the threads for over a year now. I
would love to get more involved. Like Ryan, LMK know too

Subject: The future of HttpClient 3.x


HttpClient community,

Maintaining Commons HttpClient 3.x and working on
HttpComponents is
getting a little too burdensome for me. At some point this
year I plan
to stop actively hacking on HttpClient 3.x code. I would not
even bother
to develop HttpClient any further, did not we owe a release
with Cookie2
support to Google for having sponsored the 'Summer of
Code' program.

Bottom line, I am very unlikely to continue working on
HttpClient 3.x
beyond the 3.1 release.

If any of you is interested in *gradually* taking over the
maintenance
of HttpClient 3.x code and by doing so freeing up the actual
committers
to fully concentrate on HttpComponents (aka HttpClient 4.0)
you are very
welcome to step forth. The 3.1 development would a perfect
opportunity
to work yourselves into the project and the code base.

Oleg
