correct and by design. part of the purpose of the incubator is to make sure new projects fit into our technical and cultural framework. assigning the mentoring process to a member, who has become a member by virtue of demonstrating knowledge of the framework, makes sense. allowing j random contributor who may or may not have a clear picture to mentor does *not* make sense, at least not to me. > Given a policy that equates to an exclusion of Apache > contributors - they needs to be some form of accountability by members > towards non-members on matters concerning incubation. why? the foundation is and is owned by the members, not by the non-members. the members have a perfectly legitimate right to determine what will and will not become part of the foundation. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
