IMHO, avoiding establishing TLP-like procedures for fear that a podling may not graduate (or postponing establishing those procedures until graduation) is self-defeating. Speaking as a member of a recently-graduated podling that joined the Incubator with an established user base, I think we would not have done as well without a user@ list. - Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
