But *not* to VOTE on whether they are accepted or not.
Note that at the time the incubator was created, there was no particular process. Projects entered the ASF helter-skelter, without really following any template. Also, the legal committee was not a resource, comdev was not a resource, trademarks was not a resource, press was not a resource. I think it's sort of silly to suggest that resource needs are completely isolated to either incubating efforts, or TLP efforts. So the question is, what does the incubator provide today that should be persisted as a resource to any incubating or full project? Obviously, mentorship; but comdev seems like a really good home for that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
