One point we will have to discuss before these votes is the destination: should we try to graduate as a top level project or as a sub project of Ant (our sponsor). This is also something that deserves its own thread for discussion.
Since we have started discussing graduation, I think one important point which may have influence on our capacity to graduate is the decision of our destination. Should we try to graduate as a TLP or as a sub project of Ant (our sponsor). IMO I think graduating as a TLP is more difficult and needs a broader community. With only 3 committers, I think we are far from being ready to graduate as a TLP. OTOH graduating as a sub project means that we will get a close relationship with a TLP (Ant in our case). Several Ant committers have shown interest in Ivy, and I think we have a good relationship with the Ant community. Moreover Ivy is still used mainly as a plugin for Ant (even though it's possible to use it without, and I'd like to keep this feature). So IMO the best option would be to graduate as a sub project of Ant. Of course this does not depend only on what we think, but the Ant project has already sponsored Ivy, and our four mentors are Ant PMC members, so I think they are not fully opposed to this idea :-) Opinions?
