I lurk as well but use Freemarker pretty much every day in a fairly
narrowly defined way. I am a little fuzzy on the whole "graduation"
discussion because I don't know who, exactly, is invited to participate
(Mentors, IPMC, ?? ) so trying to peel out what I, as an FM user, need
to weigh in on has been a bit of a challenge (so I remain silent).
FWIW I'll help however I can. My needs to "grow" FM have been few. It
does what I want it to do and I am not strong enough in the Java skills
department to feel like I can actively participate in development.

The project's interest is to graduate, so obviously, I would prefer it

Does any of you know a precedent of a project in similar state
passing?
Not that I'm aware...
You have to know IPMC we're normally very picky about community growth.
Therefore, although couple of mentors we already expressed our interest to
continue supporting the project (Jacopo and myself), there is no formal
trace of that. So before approaching the IPMC at general@incubator I'd try
to sort-out first the formal addition of the new PPMC members (i.e., vote).
Is it supposed to be a normal "Voting in a new PPMC member" votings as
described on http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html (CC-ed to
the IPMC and so on). I'm asking because all Mentors are already PPMC
members right now, because that's the initial status of Mentors when a
proddling starts. Should I add some explanation to the voting, like
that we are voting about who should stay even after graduation, or is
it the normal way of doing this?
After that I'd give it a try to the open discussion to see what's the
general mood of the people...

Thank you Sergio.
I am wondering if we should first run a vote in this list to clearly
express the desire of this community to graduate now (or wait).
Then we could start the discussion in the general list.
This is just an idea, if we prefer to ping the general list first, then
great.

Hi,
I think the graduation discussion has been spread in different threads.
So
I'd like to come back to the path.
From my point of view the project could be ready for graduation. The
single
issue that could block that is the evolution of the community. Jacopo
offered to bring up this topic into general@incubator, to see what's
the
feeling from the folks not so closely related to the podling. Do we
still
want to approach it in this way?
Cheers,
