One of my problems is that most of the biggest fans of micromanagement and endless debate here at incubator spend nearly no time looking over the graduated projects throughout the foundation to ensure they are being overseen. If that doesn't happen, the ASF will suffer the death of 1000 fractures. This proposal suggests that every project throughout the ASF needs the support of the ASF's members, that incubating projects simply need to pay extra attentions to each and every one of those requirements at first, in order to prove they are likely to succeed. Then they can move on to operating as a full TLP, going back to the very same resources they enjoyed during their incubation during the rough patches. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
