Podling is the name the ASF associates with sub-projects in the incubator, as best as I can describe it. Basically, if the incubator is responsible for turning these communities into projects, the one word title for that community while they're under the incubator is "podling." The reasoning behind this retirement vote is: - CMDA still does not commit to the ASF first. - CMDA still does not publicly discuss the inner workings of their project on ASF lists, in addition to generally low activity on the lists. - CMDA has consistently been difficult to get reports from. After a year, the podling should have made strives. The first bullet point is the most critical one, as it limits community involvement. Basically you would need to have access to whatever private repository is receiving commits to interact. John > > Martin > > > Le 03/07/16 � 15:27, John D.
