You are right, we were all agreeing on that. But that should be formalized with a vote. Isn't it? Also, a vote the ant-dev mailing list will be required. But I'm not sure in which order we should make those votes... I propose 1. Vote here on destination after graduation 2. Ask for a vote on the ant-dev mailing list (if vote 1. result is as expected) 3. Fire the vote here to decide if we are ready to graduate (if the result of vote 2. is as expected, and depending on the outcomes of this discussion) 4. If ok, ask the vote on the incubator list. > > -Wouldn't it be better to wait until an incubating release (better than > > alpha-2) is complete?
