Subject: Re: Graduation
Any thoughts on this? I really believe .NET is close (if not
ready) to graduate. It's been in incubation for a long time
now and from what I can tell it meets much of the criteria below.

It seems that you don't have to actually release, but you
need to have
release plans. So, what are your plans for release? Can you
guys provide status on the other stuff? I'm sure you have the
Alignment stuff down and I'm guessing all the
Infrastructure stuff is
done, since I doubt you need GUMP integration. What about
the legal
stuff? Presumably, y'all have CLAs on file, otherwise you wouldn't
have an account. Looks like:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/lucene.net.html
needs to be updated to reflect that there are now three committers
and to reflect the other status items.
Being in incubation since 2006 is too long in my book, but it seems
like you have a decent community here now, and, since you
are going to
be a subproject, I think the standards are a bit different from TLP
anyway.
Can we work to get this going? Looks like most of it
should just be
some bookkeeping at this point.
Thanks,
Grant

Hi Grant,
Has the requirement for graduation been relaxed? Just
from a release
perspective, Lucene.Net has been in incubation since April
2006, and
since than we had only one official release, Lucene.Net
2.0 on April
2007. In addition, the new committers, Doug and DIGY
don't have any
release experience yet.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for graduation, but without a
sustained
release, I don't think we will be approved.
Regards,
-- George

Hey Guys,
Grant over in PMC land here. Seems like you've got a pretty good
base going and have a few committers, what say you to
thinking about
graduation? Can someone take a look into it?
Incubation is not a place to live for a long period of time.
Besides, we want you over in Lucene land full-time!
Since you are graduating to a sub-project, I believe the
requirements for grad. aren't the same as TLP.
Thanks,
Grant
