Oh, and a specific topic for discussion: Should we include the docs in the source tarball? My feeling is yes, but they are not really cleaned up yet, and so contain a lot of Cloudera-specific info.
Pros of including the docs in the tarball: Users get a docs tarball from which they can build the hundreds of pages of usable documentation. Cons: 1. Confused users about who runs the project. (Correct answer: Apache Impala PPMC. Confused answer: Cloudera), 2. Possible failed IPMC release vote that slows down the release.
