There's a number of people who've been contributing patches to Tuscany for some time now so we should start thinking about what it takes to be made a committer.
An old Incubator webpage had this to say (the page isn't available right now): "If a developer has contributed a significant number of high-quality patches, is interested in continuing the contribution, has demonstrated the ability to work well with others under the Apache guidelines, it may be proposed to grant that developer commit access." I think it should take a bit more than code to be made a committer - participation in mailing list discussions, the weekly IRC chats, votes, and things like that. And its not just code, high-quality patches could include things for documentation or web site. Right now i think it shouldn't be to hard to become a committer, if someone has been demonstrating an interest in the project for a while we should encourage that. What do others think? ...ant
