Hi all,
as threatened, here is the proposal.
According to our bylaws it needs +1s froms two thirds of all active committers to pass. By my count that is 12 out of 18 (all PMC members listed on the contributors page plus all committers listed there plus Jose Alberto who hasn't added himself to the page yet). Even if I subtract the two PMC members who've stated they want to go to emeritus state (Costin and Magesh) two thirds would still mean more than 11.
The vote runs for one week.
+1
(3.3) Bugzilla
New components under product "Ant" for each new library.
Not Jira?
(1) The primary unit of reuse and release is the Ant library.
(2) The library is not a framework or a general library but a collection of Ant tasks and types.
(3) Each library must have a clearly defined purpose, scope, and API.
(4) Each library is treated as a product in its own right.
(4.1) Each library has its own status file, release schedule, version number, QA tests, documentation, bug category, and individual JAR.
(4.2) Each library must clearly specify any external dependencies, including any other libraries, and the earliest JDK version required.
would be nice for any metadata describing a library to provide information that can be used to pull down dependencies from the respository.
(4.3) Each library must maintain a list of its active committers in its status file.
(4.4) The libraries should use a standard scheme for versioning, QA tests, and directory layouts, and a common format for documentation and Ant build files.
(4.4) Each library will be hosted on its own page on the subproject Web site, and will also be indexed in a master directory.
(4.5) Volunteers become committers to this subproject in the same way they are entered to any Apache subproject.
Once the required infrastructure is in place, volunteers may become committers for a single Ant library only.
(4.6) New libraries may be proposed to the Ant dev mailing list. To be accepted, a library proposal must receive majority approval of the Ant PMC. Proposals are to identify the rationale for the library, its scope, the initial source from which the library is to be created, and the initial set of committers.
(4.7) As stated in the Ant guidelines, an action requiring majority approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes.
(4.8) Each Ant library needs at least three committers, at least one of them has to be an Ant PMC member.
What happens if the #of committers falls below 3?
