One of the things i'm stuggling with at the moment is what would be the differences with Stratos becoming a pTLP compared with just graduating. Looking at graduating, the Incubator minimum graduation requirements are documented here: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Minimum+Graduation+Requirements With Stratos having so many of its contributors be existing ASF committers, PMC members, or ASF members it would be easy to argue for automatically ticking off many of those requirements and then not much is left to do on the graduation requirements list. The main one would be checking the "Stratos" name for trademark issues, eg someone needs to go through: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/names.html. Once thats done then a regular resolution for graduation could be submitted to the board. I know that wouldn't so much help progress the pTLP topic, is that a goal of Stratos here? ...ant
