Hi Corinthia community, As your report mentions community difficulties, I have subscribed to this list and to your private list as well, to see if I can help resolve those and move forward.
I am currently a member of the ASF's Board of Directors please note that this is not The Board speaking - I am only here as an experienced ASF member and incubation mentor, who likes to fix community-related things when that's possible. There's absolutely no reason for the Board to get involved in your current issues, worst case the Incubator PMC could comment but the Board has more foundation-wide issues to tackle. I'm a big fan of being as concise as possible, so don't take any terseness from my side as a bad sign, and feel free to ask if I'm being too terse (in future emails - for this one that's already over ;-) If there are specific questions about the incubation process, ASF best practices etc. I would recommend that people use a [MENTOR] marker in subject lines. I have absolutely zero technical interest in the software that you guys are creating, so this helps filter out what might be relevant for people like me and for your mentors. Lastly, I had a look at your private list's archives and there's way too much traffic there IMO. In general, 99% of discussions can be brought here by suitably formulating things in a way that avoids disclosing any secrets. And people often behave much better on a public list. Let's see what can be done to fix this community. -Bertrand
