Hi Marvin, Very true. I am sorry that we did not come to the IPMC sooner. Perhaps after my second attempt to cool things. Maybe a mentor should use frustration to determine when ask for help. Maybe it should not be private@. What if there was a mentor@ private ML explicitly for this help? Mentor confidential.
I think the Incubator being separate from ComDev may also be an issue. It can take time to grow a community and learn the balance between policy and pace of conversation. Apache can not be only policy. To many in the podling it began to feel like that - only policy. People asked for that to cool. Also Apache needs a release policy for binaries that would allow the best UX/UI API for the platform to be used even if it is GPL. If you have subscribed to legal-discuss the last few months you know why that discussion was impossible. If that can be worked out then at least it would help other projects.
