Hi,
I'm not satisfied with the way the voting document [1] reads vs what folks
say is the default.
There seem to be a lot of assumed knowledge that doesn't match with the
documentation.
I'm planning to push to get [1] updated so we and all other projects
and podlings don't have to go
Hi,
I think we should. Although I am not sure what the distinction means. Are
you thinking of restricting voting privileges to non active PMC?
Yes and that's in line with most of the Apache project bylaws (that I've seen).
They say you need to be an active committer or PMC member to vote.

How about this (a little long I know but covers all bases I think):

were added to the project during incubation because Adobe felt they would

Why wouldn't the act of voting on an issue count as activity?
It would, but only be valid if the person in question has been active at some
point in the last 6 months.
Unless you have any other suggestions?

My point is just that we at least wait to see if the ASF comes up with a
more definitive set of defaults and then worry about filling in the rest.
Maybe they will dictate that, from this day forward, all committer and PMC

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I guess we'd have to define formally what a contribution is. Is it activity
on a mailing list? Actual commits? Jira activity? Mailing list moderation?
It sounds like it is a hard thing to concretely define.
