One of the reasons I started this thread was to try to get a common understanding about what everyone expects is required to become a Tuscany committer. Its hard to publicly say you think someone isn't ready yet, even on the private list, so a common understanding would mean nominations would more likely get unanimous approval. If a nomination is being discussed on the private list how do we know when its ok to call a public vote on the dev list? Are just a few positive responses enough? Are lots of positive responses required? Or just no negative ones? Or does there need to be at least positive responses from all the committers active in that area? I think maybe the latter of those for now while there's still not so many of us, but what do others think?
this is a good question with lots of depth :-) it's even tougher for a podling and so lacking history and tradition to rely on. you need to work answers to this queston yourselves but i would like to say something about nominations... i do think that there is some merit in discussing whether someone is quite ready but i believe that the nomination is personal, not collective. i'm towards the conservative end of the spectrum when it comes to nominating new committers. i see nomination as a personal commitment which includes supervising the nomimee's first weeks and months at apache. this include reading every commit message promptly and being the first to dive in with corrections for any mistakes (technical or social) they make. i'll also make time to ensure that any personal mail they send to me will be answered quickly. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
