I would NOT like to use that wiki as our discussion place. Actually I have to say this a bit stronger, if we all edit that file, I will not edit it. I strongly feel, we should NOT make our answers available on that wiki before we agree on the content. I promise for next month our wiki will be up and running, and then our report will be available there. On OUR wiki I agree that everybody shall edit directly, and once agreed to ONE PPMC, move the responses to the incubator Wiki. I hope the difference between OUR discussion and PUBLIC discussion are clear...we as a community must be able to discuss freely, without going public. We have a problem this month, because I have not had enough spare cycles to make our wiki available, hence the "rescue" procedure. If needed I can extract the question, and my suggested answer. @dennis please read my words positively, because in essence I agree with transparency....but towards our community, not the world. rgds jan i. > > - Dennis > > > -----Original Message----- > From: jan i [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 07:05 > To: [email protected] > Subject: time for our first "board" report. > > Hi all. > > The procedure for podling reports is pretty simple. > > - For the first 3 month we have to submit a report every month, then every > 3 month. > - Reports are done in the wiki > http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/January2015 > - It is the PPMC responsibility to fill out the reports. > - The mentors must sign off the report, for it to be accepted. > > > The report follow a template, I have copied it below, look for > "TO_BE_AGREED_ON", that is our text.
