I don't see it. What are the hallmarks of an Apache release? 1) Apache 2.0 license 2) IP check list 3) Provenance assured by allowing repository access only to Committers who have signed the ICLA 4) Work done transparently on the Apache lists. In fact, if you follow the general.incubator.a.o list you'll see the Incubation PMC close to shutting down another Podling because they are not doing their work at Apache, but are doing it elsewhere. Yes, getting to a first Apache release will require work. But we only get there by doing the work. I don't see how releasing something outside of Apache gets us any closer to an Apache release. -Rob > - Dennis > > PS: LibreOffice is currently at releases 3.3.3 (presumed stable) and 3.4.0 > (early adopter) with a 3.4.1 release candidate or two currently under test.
