I have spent some time reading the graduation guidelines, specifically [*].
Here I am quoting the preparation steps before graduation: Preparations - Complete (and sign off) tasks documented in the status file <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#notes-status> - Ensure suitable names <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#notes-names> for project name and product names - Demonstrate ability to create Apache releases <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#releases> - Demonstrate community readiness <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#community> - Ensure Mentors <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Mentor> and IPMC <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29> have no remaining issues <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#notes-issues> The first two items (status page update and suitable names search) are in progress. Demonstrate ability to create releases is already done. Demonstrate community readiness is done with the only concern about the ability to attract new committers and nominate new PMC members: this is our weak point, not diversity and openess. The last point, is performed with two votes: an internal vote in this list to make sure that the FreeMarker PMC and the community are happy about requesting the graduation; the second vote will happen in the general list to make sure that the IPMC is happy to recommend to the ASF Board the graduation (for this vote we will also prepare the resolution for graduation). I would say that before we start the community vote we should complete the first two items (status page updates and suitable names search) that are currently in progress: after that I will start a vote thread in this list and if successful we will prepare a charter and start a vote/discussion on the general list. What do you think?
