One doesn't preclude the other. As I wrote in response to an almost entirely different thread, Podlings are accountable to the Incubator PMC. A Project, Incubating would be accountable to the policies of the Incubator VP. Both can co-exist. The documentation is near-identical. One does not have the independent ability to release code, the other does. One changes their composition by notifying IPMC, the other would change their composition by notifying the board. One has no actual titular head, but a vague 'Champion' and several 'Mentors' overseeing the day to day operation and interaction in the project. The other would have a titular head, VP e.g. 'Champion', and several 'Mentors' overseeing the day to day operation and interaction in the project. One goes through a process to have the IPMC ratify that it is ready to be a TLP, and the IPMC presents a resolution to the board to establish a regular project of the ASF, and appointing its first Chair/VP. The other would self-certify the same graduation checklist, and present a resolution to the board to establish a regular project of the ASF, replacing the Project, Incubating committee, and appointing an appropriate Chair/VP (to replace the Champion) at that time. What is missing is the entry documentation into this process, and the exit documentation from this process. This is what I would hope to present to the Board for consideration and generic right track/ wrong track guidance at their February meeting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
