When the process starts, your name would naturally and normally be at the
top of a list. But the hard sell is going to rub at least some people the
wrong way, and I would hate to see that happen.
Sorry, wasn't meant to be a hard sell.
I know it is tough, but kick back and give the process time to settle in.
This is all part of incubation. The Community must learn how to operate.
Sometimes it takes a bit of strain before people realize that something
really does need to get done.
I merely filed it so that it would encourage other potentially interested committers to put their names forward. After all, I'm sure that people know me by now -- but what about others who are working towards that goal as well?
As one someone's earlier mails pointed out, sometimes it's just that it needs a kick-started process to get the ASF process into action, and in essence, that's the point of Davanum's original suggestion.
It's also been suggested that a Wiki would work for the same effect, but it's more likely that the current committers are going to read this mailing list so having a record of other interested people would be more advantageous if brought up on the e-mail list.
Does that explain why I filed it a little better?
Alex.
