I think the breakdown is: current active committers are from IBM, RougeWave and two independents. I'm not sure exactly who does how many hours for a day job but i _think_ at least 3 of those IBM committers don't participate at all for their day jobs. Tuscany has 11 inactive committers (not contributed for months), from BEA, IBM, IONA and Redhat and two independents, I don't know if any of those will contribute again, last time i spoke to one of them they said they would but they were busy on other things just now. There's two more new people being voted on presently, and the STATUS file [1] shows new committers have been getting added every month or two over most of the incubation. So from that Tuscany does "more than meet" the minimum requirement of "at least 3 legally independent committers". I've not seen this detail on diversity and active versus inactive committers in other graduations - how does Tuscany compare with other previously graduating poddlings? ...ant [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/STATUS
