Thank you for the vote of confidence. :) > Sorry, I won't sign up as mentor, but there sure should be some from the > Lucene community.... riiiighhhht? For what it's worth, we hope to be star students of the Incubator and require minimal effort from our Mentors. An old boss of mine once said to me, "Don't ask me what to do -- give me something I can say 'yes' to." That will be our modus operandi as we pass through incubation. With regards to administrative tasks such as rolling releases and keeping our status file up to date, we will approach them as an academic exercise: to the extent that documentation exists, we will study it, follow it, and strive for 100% compliance. At the same time, we intend to avoid asking too *few* questions. With regards to our chief challenge -- growing the community and making me dispensible -- we feel fortunate that we will be able to rely on our Champion, Hoss, for guidance. If any of you are subscribed to solr-user, then you know dedicated Hoss is and how much time he has spent in the trenches, patiently helping people (2710 messages and counting). He has offered Lucy thoughtful advice in the past; we look forward to more of his suggestions, and we plan to make good use of them. Put another way, we aim to be the kind of highly motivated students that it is a joy to teach, and we hope to launch a project that will be an enduring source of pride to those who helped us during incubation. I would be delighted to see more Lucene people come aboard in addition to Hoss and Chris Mattman, but I also hope that we can reach out across project boundaries and recruit individuals from elsewhere to join us. It would be great if Lucy could build ties with other projects as productive as those we have with Lucene. PS: Chris Mattmann originally said no, too. ;) Cheers, Marvin Humphrey --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
