I'd like to strongly echo Bertrand here. To me, ComDev is first, and foremost an ASF's braintrust if you will of things that have to do with community development, governance and all around non-coding. It is a place to come and ask for advice, etc. Of course, anything we can do to clean up documentation or provide better guidance is welcome, but I don't think ComDev is responsible for community development of ASF the same way that Rich is responsible for it at his day job. It is the same way with Incubator. IPMC is not really in business of making sure there's a steady pipeline of projects -- we're just there to help (and do our best!) when there's a steady pipeline. Thanks, Roman (as a ComDev PMC member). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
