(Note: I'm a special member.  As such, my vote doesn't actually count.)

While I've never used Padre before nor expect to in the foreseeable future (I am 
happy with BBEdit et al), I believe that Padre is a valuable project for the 
Perl ecosystem, and I wish it success ... and maybe someday I'll use it myself.

As for whether Padre becomes an EPO project, I am voting YES/+1.

But as MST said, I'm also in favor of not making that official until after 
Strawberry Pro is released.

Also, from what little I understand of Padre but from what others have said 
here, I also wouldn't consider refactoring or decoupling Padre components to be 
out of the question.
