Here a few initial ideas where we could improve this:
1. Add some CI to the Github project so that PRs are automatically verified
I think some other Apache projects already do something like this. Maybe
ask on dev@community
2. Move to Git/Github
Moving to Github is not allowed. See dev@community and board@ for
discussions and details. Other than an experiment with Whimsy, ASF source
control systems (either SVN or GIT-WIP) must remain the canonical source
Moving to Git is possible, and Tika has just done so. Needs documentation,
and guideance, again dev@community probably the best place to ask for
advice on that
5. Use some donation-scheme for bugfixes so people affected by bugs can
offer some compensation and developers can make some money for fixing
certain bugs
You need to take care here - targetted donations are not allowed, and
no-one can promise that any fix will be accepted by the project. (Someone
could pay you to write a patch that removes Excel support, for example,
and while you could take their money and write them the patch, the
community would veto applying it to trunk! Extreme example, but gives the
idea)
I'd suggest you go watch / listen to a previous "The Apache Way" talk :)
Bug bounties can be done, but need a bit of care. general@incubator has
some discussions on this, probably more than dev@community, as the
incubator has more people learning how to adapt to Apache-like
development. Ask, learn, implement! :)
