Failing that, try and interest someone here. > 2. I don't have a sponsor. I have been dedicating almost 2000 hours in 2018 > (on top of my day job) to this project started end of 2016.

That's a Very Good Way to earn goodwill around here, if you come out of the process with a clear vision for better docs. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
