You would be astonished about how over the top we have gone with the Apache Way. I say this with the utmost confidence -- find me ANY other Apache Incubator project that does it this soundly: http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/docs/3.1.0-SNAPSHOT/developer.html (ain't no awkard txt README) http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/docs/3.1.0-SNAPSHOT/tutorials-getting-started.html (we care…we really really care about the work we do). http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/ (scroll to the bottom -- 2 new committers since the November report) https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=fixVersion%20%3D%203.1.0-incubating%20AND%20project%20%3D%20TINKERPOP3 (RTC policy in effect -- big time) https://builds.apache.org/view/All/job/tinkerpop-master/ (got all set up with Apache Jenkins thanks to The Gruno) https://pony-poc.apache.org/trends.html?d...@tinkerpop.apache.org:lte=3M (find a more active incubator mailing list -- ain't happening) And -- in super secret informal talky talky private@, we got Gruno happy to join the TinkerPop PMC when we graduate and he relinquishes his IPMC role. We will have the fuzz on us at all times. Entailment -- a bullet proof project. "Oh you have a problem with us Big Mega Corp, Inc.? You best focus on taking down Apache Hadoop before you get through our titanium-strength legal armor." *** Once we get one more PMC, we are coming for you general@incubators. Soon we will throw our square hat tassel to the other side. <drop mic/>, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com
