And, of course, likewise.  Solr is more than ready to get voted on  
for graduation.

Hi,
For the curious, here's what votes will be needed and what's binding
in them.  It may seem like a long road, but don't be discouraged: for
a project like Solr, there's largely consensus so these votes are
quick and painless.

First, the Solr PPMC must approve the graduation request.  In this
vote, Solr PPMC members' votes are binding.  Unless I'm mistaken,
right now all Solr committers are also PPMC members, or close to it.

Next, the adopting PMC (in this case Lucene) must vote to accept Solr.
In that vote, only Lucene PMC members' votes are binding; you can see
those people at http://lucene.apache.org/who.html#Lucene+PMC .

Finally, after the Lucene PMC approves, we ask the Incubator PMC.  In
that vote, Incubator only PMC members' votes are binding.  You can see
that list of people at http://incubator.apache.org/whoweare.html .

You will note at least several people (such as Yonik and Erik Hatcher)
will have binding votes in more than one of the above votes.  That's
fine, it's even expected, e.g. from mentors.  They can wear multiple
hats without (hopefully) acquiring some clinical disease.

Thanks for the summary Yoav,
This thread looks like it's the first vote (unless anyone objects), so
here's my +1 for graduation.

I hate to be formal, but I'd much prefer voting to happen in clearly
identified [VOTE] threads.

As the community grows, or when people get busy, this helps in not
missing these all-important threads.

What do people think?

As you may know, graduation is not so much about code maturity/quality
as it is about community (in addition to making sure all the legal IP
issues are covered).  The primary hurdle that Solr faced starting from
a closed-source project was building a diverse community (including
independent committers).

Another recent Incubator recommendation was to make a release, to show
we knew the process and to uncover any potential IP or licensing
issues.  With the release of Solr 1.1, we've now covered that base as
well.

The next steps would be to get approval from both the Incubator PMC
and the Lucene PMC (the order is fuzzy, but this
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Exiting+the+Incubator
  the Incubator PMC SHALL provide a recommendation to the TLP that
the Podling is ready to escalate.
suggests that it's the Incubator that should go first).  *But*, the
incubation checklist suggests otherwize:
If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/solr.html

The latter makes more sense to me, so I'd vote to ask the Lucene PMC
first if we decide we are ready.
