Hi all, After the second release and an ever growing community, I think we are ready to graduate from the Incubator.
At the beginning we entered the Incubator sponsored by the Apache Jackrabbit project with the potential goal of graduating as a subproject to Jackrabbit. Over time, it showed, that Sling will have a life on its own and that the communities of Jackrabbit and Sling are sufficiently different. As a consequence the common opinion of the PPMC is that Sling might best graduate as an Apache Top Level Project. Therefore, I hereby launch a discussion about our graduation. Everyone is invited to state her or his opinion. I also drafted a board resolution [1], which we will have to provide to the Incubator PMC as the basis for the graduation discussion on the Incubator general list. Next steps are then: * vote here about graduation * discuss graduation on the Incubator general list * have the Incubator PMC hold a recommendation vote * submit the board resolution If all goes well, we might be able to submit the resolution for the June board meeting.
