No no, thats not what i'm suggesting, this isn't for some new podling thats never done a release or anything its for a more experienced podling thats been here for a while and already done a release but is still here for some reason. So they mostly know what they're doing, and they'll have active mentors. Please don't just rule this out as too scary, its just an experiment and even when successful would be unlikly ever become the mainstream approach for most podlings. ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
