I am quickly coming to the conclusion that it was a mistake to put Curator into Apache. I was cautioned by many colleagues that I shouldn't do it and I now understand why they were correct. I'm not interested in another 3 months of incubation.
What is the process for failing out of incubation so that Curator can continue outside of Apache? ==================== Jordan Zimmerman On Jul 24, 2013, at 6:38 PM, Luciano Resende <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 10:15 AM, Jordan Zimmerman < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> The Apache Curator project entered the Incubator in March of 2013.
