Hi, Overall, looks OK to me. Two comments/questions: -would it make sense the make the charter a little bit more general (to include things like netbeans-jackpot/standalone (Java) hints) either: "providing a development environment" => "providing developer tools" or, if that is too general: "providing a development environment" => "providing development environment and related tools" ?
The section on "bylaws": RESOLVED, that the initial Apache NetBeans PMC be and hereby is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to encourage open development and increased participation in the Apache NetBeans Project; and be it further Should probably be removed (I think it has been removed from recent resolutions on other projects).
