I like that - I'd say 3 months for the initial commitment, and ask mentors to indicate in the project proposal how many hours per week they think they can dedicate to the task. And also make sure each podling has a champion who agrees to fulfill the "during incubation" role listed at http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion So far we tried to make sure sufficient mentor power is available by having 2 to 3 mentors with vague requirements - with this new model a champion and a mentor can be sufficient if they are clearly engaged and available, and if the champion raises alarms if that's not the case anymore. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
