I'm lagging behind here.. but, if you'll humor me, IMHO its naieve, and potentially harmful for the project to have one type of membership, commiters, with many seperate entrance "exams" of different standards. It also provides too much privilege in one go. I would suggest that there be two entry levels, commiter to a sub-project and non-coding-member (admin) for a sub-project, neither of which carry as many benfits/responsibilities as the proposed next level, commiter/admin of whole-jakarta (like current commiters), which in turn can become "member" of jakarta, with "members" electing the pmc. "members" would be the elder statesmen, and others elevated thanks to their contribution to the community, not just the code, eg jon,sam, et al. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
