I like the idea. so +1 (non-binding)
but how should that really work? <snip> Each incubator project could have nominated two or three PMC members whose job is to pay attention to the project. </snip> How does a podling know which to nominate etc? The need for that is there, of course. I try to do the best I can (as committer and my "Apache background") to help on the adffaces (trinidad) podling. Some questions are still there. Mostly I ask this list on it. Thanks, Matthias On 7/12/06, Martin van den Bemt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
