Not sure about moving to incubator part -- but overall -- yes, IMHO it is worth 
discussing.

Maybe not a reference to me, but in case it is, a reaction is probably needed. 
I am not abusing
commons to save Jakarta. I just don't want commons to claim the Jakarta name 
when it leaves, since
that would be abusing the other projects still present at Jakarta.

That's what my notes are about : if the commons goal is to become Jakarta, you 
shouldn't leave. (not
  saying that this is what you wanted, just my observation from the threads 
going on)

Mvgr,
Martin

I voted +1, unless the goal is that commons becomes Jakarta in the end.. (then 
I want commons to stay)

Yup thats disappointing.

Its down to people to add themselves to the TLP resolution (they were
invited to do so) - if people are disenfranchised then its their own
choice.




In teasing apart these two questions:

(1) Whether a community member plans to continue to be involved with
the Commons community (regardless of where the code resides -- this
TLP or a new one)

(2) Whether a community member supports the TLP proposal

Its possible to answer 'yes' to (1) but oppose / be undecided /
abstain on (2). For example, see Simon's post in this thread, I think
he raises a similar point. I'm in that boat as well.

Would seem wrong to put people on the list without their consent.




Agreed.

If that, or something like it, sounds like a good consensus plan, then
I'm definitely more in favour of that than Commons going to TLP. There
are really only four steps:

Step 0: Consensus.
Step 1: Move 3 projects to the Incubator.
Step 2: Move other projects into Commons.
Step 3: Re-establish Jakarta PMC - we'd use pretty much the same
resolution we just voted on here.

So the question is; is the above direction worth discussing, or should
we just go with the Commons TLP.




I think it is.


From the Commons TLP discussion so far, a couple of things stand out for me:


* Whether Commons fits the bill (assuming the bill is tending towards
a TLP for a "product") --  lets punt on that (since the board won't
have that privilege).

* If we're going to invite half (or more) of the remainder of Jakarta
to join the Commons TLP, perhaps we can do that exercise here, and aim
towards step 3.

I do understand that some of us are wearing thin on patience and that
this would be a detour.
