Without trying to be flippant, I'd urge you to consider the possiblity that every project really is different, and to assume otherwise would be a mistake. > We even had to make a FAQ for this: > http://incubator.apache.org/faq.html#can_Incubation_be_skipped No one is asking to skip incubation here. No one is saying "take it easier on me". What we are saying is that this particular issue is important to us, for reasons I've enumerated elsewhere on this thread. That's why we asked for, and recieved, clarification on this point at <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01873.html>, *prior to proposing* Axion for incubation. That's why the Axion proposal and associated documentation *specifically enumerates* the expected resources, as requested by the Incubator PMC. This notion of "quit asking for special treatment" would carry more weight if this would make Axion an exception among incubating projects. In fact it is just the opposite. All 6 currently projects (excluding Axion) that are sponsored by someone other than the Incubator PMC are hosted at their "destination" URL. I am as interested in making Axion's incubation status clear as you are. I'm also concerned about the issues the incubator.apache.org URL introduces, as I discussed elsewhere on this thread. Some sort of "incubation status" notice, like that found at the top of the JAXP site, the bottom of the WSRP4J site, or the logo suggested by Tetsuya on a separate thread, would seem to me to address the "making the status clear" point as well if not better than a shifting hostname will, and will avoid the issues I raised elsewhere on this thread. If you disagree, then let's put the issues on the table and work toward some mutually acceptable solution. Immediately jumping to a "because I said so" response, while potentially binding, isn't especially inviting, and quite frankly, is contrary to the "apache way" we're promising to nuture (<http://incubator.apache.org/faq.html#what_is_apache_about>). - Rod <http://radio.weblogs.com/0122027/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
