This includes subjective measures such as "the health of the community" for a project, and proposal of project committers for membership in the ASF.So.. how would making more projects top-level fix this? As part of xml.apache.org, subprojects at least have PMC members with some local knowledge of the projects. Would the ASF board have known what to do with the SOAP/WASP Lite/Axis issue? Would board members lurk on project lists, like XML PMC members do currently?
Again, the board will not become the over-PMC. Each project will be responsible and accountable for what it does. Before one PMC - many subprojects. After many PMCs - mo subprojects. This doesn't change how the board operates with PMCs.
Ok, then let's not even try then, who cares, oh and while we're at it let's remove the PMCs, why are they needed, oh and the board too, oh and why Apache at all... get real, try to be constructive. If nobody cares, tell me what we should do to solve the problem instead of institutionalizing it.Then there's the legal stuff, which includes the visibility to the board, jar files, code without copyright, code with incompatible copyright, code with patent infringements, etc.Hmm.. anyone care to guess how many patents Cocoon infringes?
