When the qa test suite are sorted, and we've tested on a number of

Presumably, if we have an appropriate team working on River, we will get
code quality anyway. Is there any view of how large an active committer
community we need, and what skill range?
I assume we would be aiming to be a top level project, not transfer to
be a sub-project in another project.
I note that one of the requirements is "Developers tied into ASF PGP web
of trust". I've not yet worked out how to achieve this.
We've got a diverse background of developers, I agree with you, we're ready
for graduation, we've had two releases since River's inception.
I think Jukka is an experience release manager from other projects, so
if he remains active here, I am sure he can chip in with pointers if
you run into trouble. IMHO, release not required for graduation.
Another note; Apache has a PR department that are eager to send out
note-worthy press releases, and claims that there is a lot of interest
from "press" on what is happening in Apache. So, prior to graduation,
contact Sally (VP, Marketing& Publicity) at [email protected], to work
out a press release to coincide with http://river.apache.org (and
mailing lists) going live. The sooner that starts the better...
(within reason).
Cheers
