-0 I know that only for a veto is an explanation necessary but I feel obligated to provide my rationale. o) I see no *pragmatic* difference between committership and this svn access--both have write access, neither have binding votes. The difference is only the words. o) Seeing no pragmatic difference, I consider this essentially the same as a vote for commitership and, there's no merit, so I dont' see how it can be possible. I think perhaps the bar for commitership might very well be lower for existing commiters on other projects but not so low as to having contributed nothing. o) I see valid alternatives: (e.g. GSOC-type restricted and temporary access like Cocoon did with their GSOC folks) The two reasons I'm not vetoing this: o) I have faith in those who are more experienced than I with the Apache Way to do the right thing. o) I recognize that my dissent is more principle-based than pragmatic (i.e. the Lenya folks are really good and really smart so there will likely not be any harm in this -- and the intent is to try and get stuff done.) I do find it somewhat ironic that the principles that I think are being compromised are ones that are very dear to every here but very new to me. Regardless, I look forward to seeing progress with doco... --tim
