I read that email from Brett on the board's private mailing list too, but I did not see any "orders" issued to Usergrid and there was no specific indication of what things are doing wrong in the Usergrid process. Please understand that it is very difficult for us to come up and document a contributor workflow that conforms with policy when that policy, as far as I can tell, does not exist. Can you suggest a project that has an acceptable GitHub / ASF Git process, one that we should emulate? Also, if you could state specifically what things are not acceptable about the current process from the point of view of both infrastructure and legal, that would help too. Thanks, - Dave
