I am involved in this project from its beginning. Now as a committer, I think, like others, the community is open. I am also not affiliate with Google, and like Ian, I never feel that technical decisions are decided behind the ML or just pushed as a fact. The code review is an excellent thing and encourages discussions. From what I have time to read, discussions are franks between both committers and non commiters. I find that the ML activities are between 9AM-5PM PST, mon-friday, but all messages have generally responses during next days. So yes I think the community seems mature for a graduation. For new people, I think the learning curve is not easy. I committed technical docs for the website but due to recent changes, they are probably not up to date (a good news is that the javadoc is!). Also, the open social world is not easy for new comers. There are shindig ML, opensocial foundation ML, several websites... brief, a tons of informations, and as a committer, I am not involved in all part of theses informations... I think for a graduation perspective we need to concentrate our efforts to improve the documentation and design choices (think to JUL questions recently). Cheers, Vincent
