If we vote to graduate, and then want to do a release, I think there's a lot of work to accomplish before the release such as: a) moving the project out of the incubator - including changing the svn, mailing lists, and our web-site b) changing our build process to remove the incubating disclaimer Is this correct? If so, I think it would delay our release, probably. So unless we could release just as we are now, (I'm about to call for the release vote for RC 9) I would favor releasing first, and then trying to graduate. Also, graduation is not a for-sure thing - there might be an extended discussion regarding whether or not we have enough diversity. But I am glad that one of our mentors thinks it's likely to go through, easily ! -Marshall > BR, > > Jukka Zitting > > >
