Sorry, I missed that last phrase-- I wouldn't support a ban for that kind of reason. I
take "enforcement" simply to mean that after the same question is asked several
times with good answers ignored, the question can legitimately be ignored. I don't see
anything wrong with that.
Indeed, I'm happy with that, which I see as the norm.
I was not pointing out that projects go through phases.
I was pointing out that Jena has been in mature use, including by students on
course projects, for many years. We get phases where we get naive and poorly
asked questions from students. Those phases are more related to course
lifecycles than to Jena lifecycles.
I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
Patient responses, as have been given here, generally work. If they don't then
continued such poor questions can simply go unanswered. I really don't think
there's enough volume of such traffic here as to be a problem.

I don't think disagreeing on how problematic the kind of traffic about which we
are writing is should stop us from trying new kinds of engagement. In other
words, creating more resources for beginners is good for Jena no matter whether
you think this mailing list question is serious or not.

[I mean that in the Apache sense :) I definitely agree that more
beginner resources would be good. However, I've no available time to
help so +1 would be a misleading response!]
