In addition to what I said to Marion, One of the things we want to achieve in the short-term is to get non-Manchester developers comfortable with working with the code base. We already have a fair amount of documentation on this - http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/developer/Developers+Guide

It's a requirement for the ASF to support its projects. Understanding what impact each project coming into the incubator might have is important to allow VP Infra to plan for our growth. David did not ask if Manchester will be donating resources, he asked what do they currently provide and what

Committer Voting and Vetos

In a past discussion about by-laws, some folks were adamant that voting for new committer and PMC members be consensus votes so a single person can block the adding of a candidate. Do any projects use some form of majority voting for new committers? What are the reasons for allowing vetoes?
