Since we start incubating in ASF, we've made good progress on the software itself, and more importantly, made great progress in building and growing the community. Compared to what's been achieved so far, Dubbo made markable improvement in the recent two months, especially on the aspects of open-communication, committer/contributor development, software releases, and so on. The community also shows it starts to have the ability to self discover and self heal the potential issues.
Yes, I myself feel more confident that we can remove 'incubating' from the project and claim ourselves Apache Dubbo soon :) Pls. go proceed, and wish Dubbo good luck to have the support from the community and the incubator board.
