Hi Sergio, Thanks for bringing this up. This has been on my mind since Andy left the project, I hadn't brought it up yet as I wanted to see if someone else would first :-)
Retirement basically means the podling hasn't been able to build a sustainable maintenance cycle. I don't think that's the case here. A retiring podling is one where a large number of people signed up at the beginning, but then none participated. I will say I've always seen community growth as a big challenge for what you're trying to do. That's why I was pleased to see the target being commons rather than a standalone PMC. There are enough people in the commons community to rally behind a release that even if its just one or two committers here, its enough to get things moving forward. In my opinion, I would like to see the commons PMC weigh in on what steps they'd like to see commons rdf complete between now and graduation. You've had two perfect incubator releases. That usually means you're graduation material. Gary - you're probably the best one to answer that question. If I look at the graduation guide, it seems like the accepting project is pretty key here, http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#subproject, and as chair of commons, I think you'd be the best one to ask.
