Geertjan, Did you review the content of this video with your mentors? There's one extremely important thing I heard in this video. "During the incubation process." The Incubation process does not end at your first release. It ends when the community believes they have embraced the Apache Way well enough.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that your first release doesn't have to be perfect, we expect every release performed by a podling to get progressively better. Every incubator project must include a DISCLAIMER file indicating that the project is under going incubation, which implies: - The community could disappear due to lack of ability to become an Apache project. - The release contents may have issues within them, so please use caution. It doesn't look like Netbeans has their disclaimer file yet, but here's an example from Freemarker: https://github.com/apache/incubator-freemarker/blob/2.3-gae/DISCLAIMER John On 2017-09-26 09:21, Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Made a quick 3 minute YouTube clip to help explain what and why we're > trying to achieve with this page: > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/List+of+Modules+to+Review > > Hope it clarifies things -- i.e., no knowledge of NetBeans APIs or even > Java is needed, for the basic reviewing tasks and everyone should feel > invited to participate: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4PBNSRp5g8 > > Thanks, > > Gj >
