+1 I agree that the project has *nothing* more to learn from the incubator. I am somewhat concerned at the still small size of the contributor community, and all of my high hopes that people who benefit from lists.apache.org would flock to contribute, have been dashed. But there's no further benefit to being in the Incubator at this point. With my board hat on, I know that I am going to be asking, soon, where the new contributors are hiding. As a PPMC member, +1, but, at the same time, I acknowledge that I am an absentee member of the project, and I don't, realistically, expect that to change in the coming year, despite my oft-repeated goal of sitting down to learn the code more, and see where I can contribute. As to Sebb's remark about lack of response, for myself I can only say "ApacheCon". I am *still* doing ApacheCon wrapup, and the last 2 months have been all ApacheCon, all the time.
