Can you name such projects? They're probably not doing the (socially) right thing, but infra@ just hasn't caught them yet. If you don't want to name them (based on that) that's cool too ;) But yeah, putting things we don't intend to release at Apache on people.a.o is not really best practice since arguably people.a.o isn't there to share files, especially non authoritative releases that could be considered releases (or RCs) by their place and name. > > >> >> 3. v0.1.0 and v0.2.0-rc1 >> >> We had all of our history from the GitHub repository imported into the >>Apache Git repo where we have continued working.

True, but it should be discussed. Those who are doing the work will inevitably, decide. Cheers, Chris
