Thanks, Jukka.

Waiting for the last IPMC vote has become the longest and most
uncertain part of the ManifoldCF release process.  Considering the
amount of effort and good work that the committers put into each
release, it's surely not too much to ask for someone here to have a
look at it?  (We apologize; we really hate to bother you all, but
those ARE the rules...)

Respectfully,
Karl

For what it's worth, I tried to review a release candidate for an earlier
ManifoldCF release, but I had to give up because I just didn't feel qualified
to evaluate the legal aspect given ManifoldCF's large number of dependencies
and my limited Java-fu.

I find it very challenging to step in as a freelance IPMC member to cast a
release vote on a project I haven't been involved with.

I definitely consider the difficulty in scraping up these votes to be a
significant weakness in how the Incubator operates right now, but I don't have
any ideas about how to improve the situation. :(

Thanks for at least having a look at this!

Even if you find the main release to be too big to look at, the three
ManifoldCF plugins, which have separate release packages (and vote
threads) are quite small with extremely limited dependencies.  Maybe
those would be easier to digest? ;-)

Mentor needed for ManifoldCF (Was: [VOTE] Release apache-manifoldcf-0.4-incubating, RC2)

2012-01-11 Thread Jukka Zitting
Hi,

On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 8:45 PM, Karl Wright daddy...@gmail.com wrote:

... which highlights the fact that we need one more mentor for the
project. Tommaso and I are currently more or less actively mentoring
the project, while Gianugo doesn't seem to have enough spare cycles.
Thus one extra pair of eyes would be great.

The project itself is on a pretty good track. They've done a great
work navigating some trickier licensing issues, and the community is
following the Apache Way. The main trouble so far has been that the
development efforts were for a long while carried almost
single-handedly by Karl Wright, who's still by far the most active
committer. But this diversity issue has recently been quickly solving
itself with new committers becoming more active and new contributors
showing up with patches. At this rate I believe the project should be
ready to graduate within months.

Extra mentor help would be appreciated not just in reviewing releases
but also in helping make the transition to a more diverse community as
smooth as possible (see the private list for a recent discussion on a
related topic).

Anyone ready to volunteer?

BR,

Jukka Zitting
