I feel it would look very much as an ASF endorsement of a standard that we may not have any influence on at all - maybe things will look different in a few months time, but right now I'm far from convinced.
I understand that there are some specific circumstances in this case, but in general I believe this sort of criteria is why we get complaints that it's impossible to "innovate" at Apache any more. We require all the grunt work of innovation to occur outside of Apache. The issues of an open specification is one thing. But aren't "proven an actual community" and "work the standard 'apache way'" graduation requirements, not entry requirements? If we expect something coming into the incubator to already have a fully functioning, health Apache-style community, then the only point of the Incubator is for handling licensing issues. -- jaaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
