Anyway this morning I have just retweet, from the Apache Community Twitter account, the tweet about the first contribution on Apache Fluo: https://twitter.com/ApacheFluo/status/928390577816776705 I hope that Apache Fluo community asked to the contributor before twitting :-P I'm wondering if we should have something similator to an internal manifesto for managing this things.
