Agreed. The Tika dev community is (just) big enough for a TLP and I think having our own PMC would make a few things easier. For example I'd like to see us grant commitership to new contributors with lower entry barriers than what the Lucene PMC has traditionally maintained. It would also make easier to conduct release votes, as all Tika committers would have binding votes on the releases. The main tasks in going for a TLP are deciding who'll be included in the new PMC and who'll be the PMC chair. My proposal is to make all Tika committers PMC members (now and also in the future when we add new committers) and to appoint Chris (if he wants) as the PMC chair since he's already been taking care of many of our board reports. I'm already chairing Jackrabbit, and would rather avoid another officer post. BR, Jukkka Zitting
