Mostly just start a [VOTE] thread for each when you think they have earned it. Remember, at Apache, they have to EARN it first. They would earn it through contributions on this list, doc updates, patches for issues submitted through jira, etc.... When they've shown serious contributions and commitment over a period of time, then a vote is warranted. That is a little different than some communities. In some open source communities, you can just show up and say "I want access to fix things" and if the lead developer is your friend, they can just grant access. Not so with Apache. It's all based on a Meritocracy where they have to earn merit to gain access. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://www.dankulp.com/blog
