Stefan,
It seems to me that the first data point to gather is if there is general
interest in Gump as an ongoing service. If not we have our answer. If yes, then
we need to figure out how to resource it & if the level of interest extends to
maintaining bits of it.
As for your letter, I like it. Perhaps add a paragraph as to why Gump does it's
builds? Something like:
Apache Gump builds the full stack of the latest commits of software in order to
ensure integrity over releases. Build failures surface API discontinuities
between projects before they impact releases, and Gump's e-mail notifications
promote the conversations between teams to resolve those discontinuities.
regards
Adam
