In principle this is true. People would vote +1 to indicate that they intend to help and +0 to indicate they support the idea but won't be contributing directly. In practice though people often vote +1 to indicate support. If the forum volunteers want to make sure there are enough people wanting to support the move with action then a vote with a clear "please only vote +1 if you will be active in the forums in some way" might be a good idea. Although I would have thought such an activity would be best carried out in the forums where the currently active volunteers are. I think it is clear the PPMC will gladly host the forums and ensure the necessary infrastructure is provided. However, again I'm not saying *don't* have a vote, just trying to help the project understand how best to implement the Apache Way. Whether my words are entirely appropriate to this case is for those doing the work to decide. I will observe though that talking about it is wasting even more time ;-) Ross Ross
