Exactly! And this is why, in my opinion, quite a few heated discussion around graduation are totally missing the point. The frame of reference that gets perpetuated is that somehow the project has to be a perfect example of a TLP. That is, in my opinion, totally counter productive. The project's community has to demonstrate that they get where the gaps are and they are striving to address those in a meaningful fashion (*) Thanks, Roman. (*) for the purists on this thread: yes I know that there are certain parts of the curriculum that have to be mastered as the basis for graduation. Which, come to think of it, the maturity model also calls out explicitly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
