Dunno, I think the basics are pretty clear.
* Contributors are individual volunteers (never representatives of
employers).
* Status is gained through merit (e.g., not through connections or
tit-for-tat).
* Decisions should be reached by consensus.
* All project members are equal (e.g., PMC does not dictate to other
committers)
* Community is more important than code.
Everything else (including requirements for releases) are minor
technicalities and/or legal constraints.
I find it horrifying that any ASF and especially IPMC member couldn't
list these five basic points standing on their heads in a cold shower at
3 a.m.
