Re: Graduation

[Erik Hatcher]

+1 for graduation, definitely!

If this message doesn't make it to the list, please forward it.  I've  
been switching around my e-mail list subscriptions lately, and it's  
still out of wack.

Eric Hatcher is our mentor.

I might have jumped the gun by calling for a vote before consulting  
with him first.  However, I think it's OK.

Eric, can you cast your vote, and / or guide us with this process?

Thanks.

I'd suggest pinging your mentors and maybe the IPMC to see what others
think.

Yes, I will put together an agenda for the next 3 months for us to
work on
(with the approval of the community).  I will do so later on  
tonight.



From http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#requirements:
"Podlings do not need to actually publish a release to demonstrate
that they understand how to accomplish such a feat. However, creating
a release that is approved by the incubator project management
committee is usually the simplest way to do this."

You've done 1 release, so you know how to do it.  The Lucene PMC  
knows
how to do releases.

Is your status file up to date?  Who are the mentors for .NET?
Perhaps you just need to ask on the IPMC.  I don't think this needs  
to
be some big drawn out thing.  Your going to be under the Lucene PMC,
not on your own.  I think being a subproject has a lower bar than
being a TLP.

In other words, 3 mos. is too long.   Let's put some floaters out
there to the incubator as a whole and see what people say.
