Patrick, I agree with most of what you wrote. In many ways I'm worried that this is a failure on the part of mentors. Very early, this morning in Tokyo, it dawned on me that perhaps the mentors (esp. me) are part of the problem. This isn't the first time that issues have been called out with Sentry - and there does seem to be willingness to address issues on the part of the project. 'We keep saying $n is problematic' - and I worry (and am certainly guilty in my case) of assuming everyone largely 'gets it'. I've also not shown them specific concrete examples of some types of non-problematic behavior. By the time most folks become a member, or join the IPMC, the Apache way of doing things is second nature, and we don't always realize that it may be completely foreign to folks who haven't been doing it for as long. I've just sent a long email to dev@ to hopefully make this clearer, call out some examples, and hopefully generate a discussion on how we move forward. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
