--------------------------------------------------

   * Fastest path to a community is assimilation of KinoSearch code base.
  
  === Meritocracy ===
- Apache is a meritocracy.
+ Our initial committer list includes two individuals (Peter Karman and Nathan 
Kurz) who started off as KinoSearch users, demonstrated merit through 
constructive forum participation, adept negotiation, consensus building, and 
submission of high-quality contributions, and were invited to become 
committers.  Peter now rolls most releases.
  
+ We look forward to continuing to operate as a meritocracy under the 
established traditions and rules of the ASF.
- Once a developer has submitted enough good patches then it should be natural 
that they are elected to committer. It should be natural that active committers 
are elected to the project management committee (PMC).
- 
- This process of renewal is vital to the long term health of Apache projects. 
This is the right place to demonstrate that this process is understood by the 
proposers. Example (OFBiz): OFBiz was originally created by David E. Jones and 
Andy Zeneski in May 2001. The project now has committers and users from around 
the world. The newer committers of the project joined in subsequent years by 
initially submitting patches, then having commit privileges for some of the 
applications, and then privileges over a larger range of applications... 
Example (Beehive): We plan to do everything possible to encourage an 
environment that supports a meritocracy. One of the lessons that the XMLBeans 
committers have learned is that meritocracies don't just evolve from good 
intentions; they require actively asking the community for help, 
listing/specifying the work that needs to be done, and keeping track of and 
encouraging members of the community who make any contributions...
  
  === Community ===
  Lucy currently has a small community, many members of which originated in the 
KinoSearch community.
