Time and energy to express the ideas you have in that direction ?
Let's try :-)
IMO it's quite awkward to have oversight over a project where I don't
even know people nor the codebase. Of course most of people on the PMC
are active in a couple of the different jakarta projects ...but still
not in every project.
Of course issues can be brought up and discussed once they are
explained to the people that haven't been aware of it. But still it's
quite strange that these people have a full counting PMC vote on the
affairs of that very project. It's just makes things a bit harder.
(Maybe that's why the PMC memeber selection process is currently
needed)
On the other hand I do understand that this can be a problem. Hell, we
hardly have enough *committers* on BCEL ...how should this project's
PMC be functional?
I am not really sure how to solve this. I am just ranting. For a few
projects I think they should go toplevel. For the ones I am involved
in at least jakarta commons surely deserves it (not looking into the
naming problem for now). Having a few more toplevel projects could
help to strip down the "general" jakarta PMC a bit ...and maybe then
the committer == PMC idea is more suitable ...maybe let's get a
smaller umbrella ;-)
*shrug* ...just some RTs - but surely no new ones...
cheers
