Regardless of how the new API review process works (FWIW something similar to the current makes sense to me - now that I’ve read it) I think it’s safe to say that there will be such a process.
To that end, can we establish an apache API mailing list and move away from the Netbeans one? Also, given that UX is a big thumbs up for Netbeans, can I suggest that establishing a review process for UX should be a very early post migration priority. - Ross > On 20 Jun 2017, at 8:15 pm, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > > I agree that in theory the processes should remain.
