Hi Guys,
A little late, but better than never. WDYT? I'll leave this up until next
Monday, at which point I'll call a [VOTE] thread, and then take it to the
Lucene PMC shortly thereafter (hopefully mid/late next week) so that we
could potentially make the next board meeting, if the community thinks this
Resolution makes sense.
