These questions can only be answered, if there is actually a  
Foundation established. The group, which is now established by the  
initial membership has actually the duty to discuss, what goals the  
Foundation will have in the future. The current process, which I  
would call bootstrapping strives to have a balance between sustained  
corporate interests and the involvement of the active and sustained  
supporting developers. I think the balance is meet quite well.

With this balance in place, the Foundation can start to define  
itself. One outcome can be, to open up for more memberships. So I  
hope the Foundation will be given the time to start this selfdefining  
process and thus shape it's profile.

With regards,
