I should have said I don't like the idea of the board receiving reports for podlings that need assistance. It already does. Its not the reporting that's a problem, its the support that's needed in a small number of cases. I'll expand on that in Chris' thread. I'll note that in this thread I

FWIW: IMO the Incubator still serves a crucial role in the social and legal aspects of *creating* an Apache project and community. The Probationary TLP opens us up to more risk for what I can see as no real benefit or reduction in effort or resources. Also, the unwash public is aware of the

Speaking as a Director, the Board will need a *definition* of probation. This is more than just a wiki page. I believe it needs to be a page laid down in www.a.o/dev/ that defines the constraints laid down upon a pTLP (I really like Ross' acronym there!). These differences/constraints should
