I think we should start with guidelines that are from a project

work well for httpd since it is such a stable code base, but I

can start with? Perhaps incubator, jakarta, or web-services?
It's not clear that Incubator's rules are relevant, as they are
for a really different kind of project. (I'm guessing, as I didn't
go look...)
As for the others, they are probably derived from httpd in some way.
What aspects do you feel are unworkable for us? Lets just fix
those bugs that you see.
Can we delay this until after OSCon? I would like to work on M4
100% this week and then relax at OSCon next week. If this is
really important, I guess we can work on it now, but I get the
feeling the community wants M4 asap :)
I wasn't interested in forcing anything through, just getting a
discussion going. If you have no problem with me at least pushing to
the public site, we can ponder as we need to.
In the mean time I think it would be helpful if you could point the
community at the guidelines used by the different projects at the
ASF. I think a bit of background reading over the next two weeks
will make this discussion move much easier. I also request that
until we discuss and vote on the guidelines we remove them from our
website; I don't want to create any confusion.
The guidelines are clearly marked as "PROPOSED" on the page, under a
"Proposed" section of the left side menu. Does that sufficiently
address that concern?

BTW, I definitely think this is useful for the project, and I am
not attempting to kill this idea. I just want everyone to have the
bandwidth to participate.
