Couldn't find the thread--what does the PPMC acronym stand for? Also, are the specific oversight requirements of Apache board available online somewhere? It might be easier to determine the correct path to go once everyone is aware of what needs to be done. > In essence, each > sub-project has it's own > PMC (the PPMC) which is made up of the key players > in the sub-project. But wasn't the Apache board's original concern that a subproject's committers, by themselves, are not sufficient to ensure quality of work? We should be careful that a subset of the same people, even if they are the "key players", will alleviate those concerns. > Also in the PPMC are all the members of the PMC. > The latter are there > purely to provide oversite - i.e. ensure that > decisions are being made > appropriately and in the Apache style. > But I thought the reason for moving to subproject PPMC's to begin with was that the XML PMC members did *not* have the time to do subproject oversight at the granularity that the Apache board wanted. How will available time for the XML PMC members to do this oversight work materialize as a result of them joining the PPMCs? My general caution would be that XML Apache should be careful not to make any organizational changes if those changes won't satisfy the board's needs. In particular, if the requirements are simply too time-consuming no matter how you restructure things, it would probably be better to work on that problem first before considering PPMC's.
