Hi all, as part of NetCAT and PPMC here is my take.
1. NetCAT is very valuable as a resource for providing a high quality release - volunteers are putting a lot of effort into going through all the features checking everything works - we should make this in integral part of our Apache NetBeans story. 2. From an Apache perspective there is only the vote of (I/P)PMC - and I think we should play by those rules. 3. How about ensuring that NetCAT has a representative as part of the (i/P)PMC - then those people can just vote -1 on a release and we do not need any other additional means. Jiří Kovalský, David Heffelfinger and other people are part of our PPMC so we (including myself) could listen to a vote from the NetCAT tribe leaders and vote accordingly. Would this be good enough? 4. Merge the lists - With the additional work of the NetCAT team updating the specs I see more interaction necessary with the dev list. So probably 90% of all NetCat traffic is dev relevant - maybe we can try to figure out a way to reduce spamming dev with the organizational bits and pieces - although dev's may be interested in all this as well...
