Hey Steve, Thank you for the suggestions.
Here's the information we currently have: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Committer%27s+Zone Perhaps you can review it for holes, and provide feedback on what changes would help you specifically. As to new committer on-boarding, I think it's a good idea. Would you like to take on this task? Apache is a do-ocracy. If there's something you'd like to see done, the best thing to do is, *do it*. You don't need my or anyone else's permission. You're one of us now, so this responsibility lies as much with you as it does with me. : o) Best Regards, Myrle On Sat, Apr 21, 2018 at 3:53 AM, Steve Conrad <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Myrle.
