So I'm strongly in favor of getting to decide our own destiny, so in that sense I'm very much a +1 for this. Ditto for the option to create sub-projects. Then there's the simple fact that we are not in any real way a project that *belongs* as part of "Lucene" in the long run.
What makes me ambivalent is: how many really active developers do we have to support the administrative tasks around running a TLP? We certainly have momentum in terms of interest and codebase. But should a project only at the 0.2 stage (soon to be 0.3) be a TLP? I'm just wondering if we're just giving ourselves more work. From a practical standpoint, does this make our lives easier, or harder, to do this now as opposed to later? Clearly it must be done at some point, but doing it now has what effect, really? -jake On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Ted Dunning <ted.dunn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Presumably one of the benefits of this will be fewer +0 votes on Mahout > issues due to fewer Lucene centric folks to don't follow our machinations. > > On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 6:19 PM, Benson Margulies <bimargul...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > 1) Mahout has it's own PMC.
