[rules-dev] [vote] Module drools-atom in limbo

[Michael Anstis]

No problem, I'll put comments in the pom files (at Geoffrey's suggestion).

How do I go about getting commit permissions on svn; or would you rather me
provide patches for now?

Geoffrey, would you rather me defer this until you've made your other maven
changes?

Cheers,

Mike
