Hey thrift folks, Someone just pointed out
http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/download/ ....I'm afraid that's not exactly what we'd like to see. Can you please spend some time reviewing the pages at http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html ? It would be really good if y'all could expend the effort to make a release [1]. ((A release in the apache sense is an important milestone. Among other things it implies a whole bunch of legal checking has been done, i's are dotted and t's are crossed. The apache thrift project and the responsible PMC (until you graduate, that's the incubator PMC) make an explicit decision (through voting) to release a piece of software to the "general" public. Its a vital step in the lifecycle of any apache project. "check out from SVN here" is not really what we're looking for, and "clone this non-ASF-hosted git repository" is a bit worse than that.)) Please check in with your incubator mentors if you need any more help figuring out what to do. Thanks!! cheers, - Leo PS: I'm not on thrift-dev@; feel free to CC gene...@incubator if you want a response from me! :) [1] at a very minimum you really need appropriate disclaimers, i.e. stuff like "Apache Thrift is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF." on the download page and the home page --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
