Fabulous, Steve! Thank you. :)
We've started working on getting our initial committers up (above 2...now at 4!) so that we can hold proper votes for the project. We've got an active contributor who we'd like to vote in, and haven't been able to yet--my guess is it'd be the same for getting you added to the PPMC? I'm not sure how that works in incubation. I'm also working on how the PPMC "joining" works for folks on that "initial committers" list. My first goal is just to get everyone from that list (who still wants to) on the actual committers list. Regardless of the details of making it happen, I'm thankful for your offer to help, Steve!

I've just (officially) added two of our "initial committers" to our list: - Robert - https://people.apache.org/phonebook.html?uid=robcast - Dinesh - https://people.apache.org/phonebook.html?uid=tbdinesh That gives us 5 (counting Jim who's also a Mentor) of the 14 initial committers listed in our original proposal--so, 9 more to go! :D https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/wiki/Proposal#initial-commiters If you're name is on that list, and you are still interested in participating here (in anyway, not just code), we *need* you to go through the steps described here: http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#guide-for-new-committers Once you've done that, please let me know (on this list is fine) what your Apache ID name is (ex. `bigbluehat`) so that I can get you properly added to our list of committers. I'll be sending more mails out this week about plans for the future and how we can (together!) make those a reality (at last!!1!). :) More soon, Benjamin On 2018/02/13 04:45:38, Jake Hartnell <j...@commongarden.org> wrote: +1 excited for the future of annotation!

This email is primarily for the folks who "signed up" to be initial committers during the Apache Annotator Proposal process [1] (each of whom are BCC'd on this email). It's possible that some of you forgot you'd added your name to that list, or that now (given the life and work and time) you may no longer have an interest in participating, or you may have been eagerly awaiting this to happen and somehow missed the initial setup of the project. Regardless, we'd love to have you join the party! :) Here's a quick update, and also some links to get setup as one of the core contributors to Apache Annotator [2]. First, coding is coming along nicely mostly with thanks going to Randall and Gerben [3]. The primary focus has been on repository structure (monorepo), initial code structure/planning, and NPM publication planning/setup. If you're interested in any of this, please checkout the code repo. Second, there's a basic promo site (if you've not seen it) at http://annotator.apache.org/ <http://annotator.apache.org/> We'd like to get the demo integrated [4] and begin to provide documentation there as we're able to write it (and would love help writing it!). ^_^ Lastly (and this is where our BCC'd friends come in!), we need more initial committers active (at least!) on the mailing list. We have folks interested in contributing to the code who we can't (yet) add to the project because we lack voting members. If you are able and willing (or even just able ;) ), we'd greatly appreciate the help and input on the mailing list, even if you lack time to code or write docs (etc). If you're +1 on accepting the role you signed up for as an initial committer, please respond (on list!) to this email and begin reading/skimming this guide: http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#guide- for-new-committers <http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html# guide-for-new-committers> It can be a lot to take in, but I (and our loverly mentors) will be happy to help you through the process. :) Thank you (all!) for reading this email!
