Hi, there

I just wrote a page [1] to give a brief introduction about how weex community 
works. If you are familiar with other ASF’s community, you may already know 
most of the contents.

Normally, I write documentation on Github without bothering individuals in this 
mailing list. But this documentation gives an introduction of some essential 
elements of community including how to be a committer/PPMC and voting 
procedure. I’d like to discuss the documentation first and then have a formal 
vote. I have attached some essential parts of the documentation below.

Roles
The meritocracy usually has various roles in Weex community.
User <https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#users>, someone who 
uses Weex
Contributor <https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#developers>, 
also named developer, who contributes to Weex in the form of code, 
documentation, etc..
Committer <https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#committers>, who 
is given write access to the code repository.
PPMC Member, <https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#pmc-members> 
who not only has the privilege of committer, but is also given the right to 
vote for the community-related decisions and propose an active contributor for 
committership.

Once selected, the membership of PPMC or committer is lifetime except for the 
following conditions:
A committer or PPMC member resigns <https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#resign> 
the his/her membership.
A committer or PPMC member passed away 
<https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#deceased>, which is a tragic.
The PPMC and ASF Board both agree to remove someone's membership 
<https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#pmc-removal>  in which case the PPMC 
should send an email to the board@ mailing list detailing the request for 
removal and the justification the PPMC has for that removal, and cc: 
[email protected] 

How to be a Committer
It's PPMC's job to find active committers in active contributors. There is no 
formal rules about prerequisite of a committer, but generally a committer shall 
fulfill the following requirement:
Sustained contribution, including but not limited to code, documentation, etc..
Community involvement, including but not limited to participate in discussion 
through mailing list, interacting with users who has questions.
Passion and interest in mobile or Front-End engineering.

Normally, a PPMC member is elected due to merit for the community, not just 
technical skill, which is also important, of course.

Read ASF’s policy 
<https://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html#voting_in_a_new_ppmc_member> for 
detail.
