(is there anything the PMC can do to make it easier to vote a

Adding people to a PMC involves
(1) calling for a vote on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(2) people voting
(3) tallying the vote
(4) inviting the new people
(5) chair sending an email to board@
(6) board ACKs
(7) chair updates a file in SVN
"get a few cocoon developers on the PMC" is slightly off, since we
add people to the PMC based on merit. Of course, there are probably
quite a few developers out there who have earned sufficient merit to
be on the excalibur PMC, and some of them probably also are cocoon
developers. The way I see it, the open invitation extended to them a
year or two ago is still pretty much open, we just need to do the
voting :-).
Before setting up excalibur, we did discuss with a bunch of people
whether some stuff should just move out into cocoon. Back then, we
decided against it.
Another related thing to do is removing people from the PMC that no
longer want to be on it. This involves
(1) that PMC member sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
requesting to be removed from the PMC
(5) chair sending an email to board@
(6) board ACKs
(7) chair updates a file in SVN
there is an alternative here when (1) does not happen which is a lot
less fun (the rest of the PMC has to vote to remove the inactive
member).
(on a tangent: excalibur is one example of several mature, stable,
and pretty inactive projects at apache. As a foundation, apache has
not yet really figured out a 'standard way' on how to deal with
projects with dwindling activity, so in the meantime it's up to each
project to figure out what to do.)
