Left field but I'll bite: nothing is born flawless and perfect it is a matter of adaptation. When the ASF was born it was highly adaptable which is why it has done so well. > > Apache just isn't going to survive if the Incubator is the model > > for operation. > > > The network of trust between members and the common sense of > > members is all we need. > > Actually, if you would open your eyes and look around, that is what is > happening with the Incubator. > > Now ... if you want to stop hand waving, and get down to brass tacks, my > idea is that we would use [EMAIL PROTECTED] (with or without > projects-ppmc@) for most projects like Axion that have a well-defined > destination, a community, and are expected to sail through.

So you > tell me, Jason, where is this all-consuming hinderance of which you speak? o confusing and unnavigable website o a website that seems to change more often than not o Rodney not being able to find useful information regarding the processes here when trying to figure out what to do with Axion. o Rodney not really getting much feedback while people on the list are talking about podlings and mentors and shepherds and other use jargon. o basically a completely unclear path and when people ask for help it often goes unanswered. Lots of people are answering Rodney today because I'm in everyone's face. o endless discussions while nothing much has really been decided this thing has been here for how long? 6 months, a year and look what the sum total is on the site. It's nuts. > The preceding is my proposal for handling all such projects. Great, now why wasn't some common sense like that employed when this whole show started?
