My biggest concerns with going TLP is the lack of committers. In the last 2 months, there have been three people committing: James, Ugo and Stephen. But 98% of the commits have been by James. Traditionally the bar for projects has been 3-4 active committers. And while at some level we do have 3, I'm not sure that is a good characterization. The simple question you have to ask is: If any single person was hit by a bus today, would the project still be able to thrive. Personally, I think the answer is no, right now. However, In every other regard, I think Abdera is ready to graduate. -Paul
