Sam, Rather than argue about the existence and interpretation of messages about squashing stale podlings, how about this adjustment to my presentation:
1. OK, let's forget about dumping aged podlings 2. The third option I presented was 'graduate with an asterix'. However, I didn't really intend to claim that no other possibilities existed. Another possibility is 'remain under the supervision of the incubator PMC but with more autonomy.' I could elaborate, but I'd rather see if there is a remote consensus to go in any direction like this. Mark, yes, the existing people are really good. But they have not added any new ones since the launch of the podling, so they've haven't passed that test. --benson On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Mark Struberg <strub...@yahoo.de> wrote: > Isis did pick up a few committers, but it's not a project which grows as fast > as others of course. > We should try to get at bit more folks interrested. > > > But they have 3, 4 frequent committers which do a very good job.
