Hi Stefan,
However, I'm not sure I get the whole reasoning below RE: TLP? Why
not
have a RAT TLP? The overhead of filing board reports and not knowing
anyone on the team that would be able to?
Jochen has sure be joking here. The team list he pointed at
contains at
least two current PMC chairs (haven't checked too closely) as well
as a
bunch of former PMC chairs.
Heh, that's what I was thinking.
To me RAT's scope feels too small for a TLP.
I feel kind of the opposite -- RAT is an important tool that's
required of
all the Incubator projects, but pretty widely integrated (at least
in Java
land) outside of the Incubator as a tool to help check ASF policies.
To me,
that's a big scope and an important community, and just based on the
telltale signs it seems like a TLP to me.
First, congratulations to everyone who contributed to RAT during
incubation, and especially to those who prepared a release in the
incubator. That's a big deal.
As to becoming TLP, I agree. As long as the folks who contribute to
RAT continue to take feedback and make releases I see no reason to
deny them the opportunity to have a RAT TLP.
There's nothing that I can think of that says a small scope project
cannot be a successful TLP.
In fact, the small scope helps in one regard: there's not much work
involved in making board reports.
Craig
Cheers,
Chris
