It is now finally glaring clear to me the importance of getting out of incubation. I feel disheartened by the fact that the 5 originating developers have no formal voting authority. Obviously, the best way to alleviate this is to ensure we get out of incubation and obtain voting capability as soon as is possible. Of course there are other benefits to exiting the incubator (including retaining the great ASF community that has been building with us), and we'll naturally achieve those as well.
Here is the current status file, which lists what is left to do to exit the incubator: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/jsecurity/STATUS?view=markup The "Copyrights & Licensing" section is probably completed - how do we verify so we can check this off? The "Distribution Rights' section is probably completed - how do we verify so we can check this off? I believe "Infastructure" section is complete. I think most of the "Collaborative Development" criteria has been met. Can the Mentors clarify exactly what they feel has been met and what is to remain? Once we get this list, we can check them off one by one to ensure we can exit the incubator asap. Thanks! Les
