This thread has been running a few weeks now if it really is wanted to be done in the Incubator just call a vote on that now. The champion and mentors are Incubator PMC members so it'll likely get enough +1s (though the vote might go more smoothly if the part about using the commons mailing lists is removed). The Commons PMC is effectively saying we don't want to take responsibility and giving it to the Incubator PMC who from the comments on this thread will likely think its ready to graduate almost immediately so can vote to graduate it at the earliest opportunity and give it right back to Commons. Making work for ourselves but so be it. It doesnt look like theres been any comments about this on commons dev or private since the proposal was submitted to the Incubator so it may be worth first asking there again if they'd review this thread and reconsider not doing it via the software grant route. ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
