Benson, I read your proposal.
This statement: "This leads to my first major qualm about Chris' proposal: everything good, useful, or necessary about the existing PMC is dumped upon ComDev. There is, in my mind, some circularity to the argument here. "The incubator is a cesspit, so we should dismantle it. Oh, *that* essential function? ComDev can do it."" Is patently not upheld by anything I've written in the proposal and it's flat out wrong. Did you read my proposal? http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorDeconstructionProposal If *everything* good, useful, or necessary about the existing PMC is dumped on ComDev, how come they are only responsible for *1* of the *10* transitions of oversight? And the essential function I'm asking ComDev to do is to send an email pointing some newbie to the existing Incubator site, and if they are too lazy to find the right page there, just point them to the main page and let them navigate it themselves. How in the world is that everything good, useful or necessary? And even more, how in the world is that hard? Cheers, Chris P.S. I would have updated your proposal on the wiki, but if you truly believe what you wrote in there, then count me out.
