So the problem is when a single company provides resources for a given project. In such a case, other committers usually come from the user community and this takes time. I think that one of the goal of the podling should be to build a user community, so that users can become developers. So not allowing podlings to release anything will certainly not help building / growing the user community, hence the dev community.
+1. This is the situation for the UIMA podling. UIMA has had many pre-apache releases and already has a significant user base. We want to get that user base moved over to using Apache UIMA and we think that will help with building our community of developers. To that end we just put out our first incubating release. If we couldn't put out a release I think we would have serious difficulties getting our users to switch to the latest version of the code, and this in turn would make it hard for them to become contributors. -Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
