Hello All ! A quick follow up. Responses to this idea show that there was no support for moving to the Attic. That's fine. I'd like this to be a community decision. However, if we don't start showing a real heartbeat in this project, including timely submission of our podling reports to the IPMC, and progress towards graduating from the Incubator, we may be forced into that position. Maybe it would help if someone volunteers to be Release Manager for the next release and suggest a date for that release? Also, since we missed the podling report for October we need to get one in for November, We need a volunteer to draft that. -Rob > Regards, > > -Rob
