IMO that is not necessary since that is officially stated already here in the ASF. http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy "Being no conservative resource at stake (money, energy, time), the group was happy to have new people coming in and help, they were only filtering the people that they believed committed enough for the task and matched the human attitudes required to work well with others, especially in disagreement." That is, once someone has contributed sufficiently to any area of CoPDoC [1] they can be voted in as a committer.[2] Further if you take more responsibilities in doing tasks such as RM it is an indicator for your commitment level to the project (and the ASF in general). If you contribute sufficiently with this new commitment level you will get voted as PMC member, member,... Like you see, the idea is, you are doing something and you get rewarded. I do not see the need to turn it around and establish rules that punish somebody if you are not doing something. I do not say: I installed the zone and do website updates and now if you do not maintain it then you should retire. That will end up in cutting out valuable indicators for commitment (which we need). If somebody steps up and helping with this it indicates her commitment level and she get rewarded in the future. If she got forced, one can not know whether it was her commitment or the fear getting devoted. That is why I asked (and still do): "Why suddenly meritocracy (the principal the ASF is based on) is not enough for this project anymore? > > > shutting up now, No, thanks for stating your opinion. salu2 [1] http://forrest.apache.org/committed.html#copdoc [2] http://forrest.apache.org/committed.html#becoming -- Thorsten Scherler COO Spain Wyona Inc. - Open Source Content Management - Apache Lenya http://www.wyona.com http://lenya.apache.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
