See below for my summary (S) and subjective recommendation (R) for each project. Please branch any followup discussion about specific podlings to separate threads.

Small but otherwise happy podlings
This has been the subject of prior conversations, but I'm opening a thread in some hope of reaching a definitive resolution. Some of our non-graduating podlings have a common problem. They look good in all ways except growth. This inhibits graduation from 2.5 standpoints: 1) they are dubiously large enough to sustain as a TLP. 2) they don't have much (or any) track record in incorporating new contributors. 2.5) they might not be very diverse. I list this as a .5 because I think that we've established that diversity is a lower priority. There are some possible responses to this situation. a) toss them out of the incubator. b) keep them in the incubator indefinitely. c) graduate them, but with some conditions. I'm most interested in (c). I think that the simple condition here is that at least one PMC member, or, possibly, the PMC chair, has to be an Apache participant with significant experience, preferably a foundation member. Essentially, I'm proposing to create a category that has more Foundation supervision than an ordinary TLP, but less than a podling. The advantages of this, in my opinion, is that it removes overhead from the incubator while allowing for slow-growing communities. Or, if you prefer, it's an intermediate between a lab and a TLP. The 'person of long standing' has to be willing to be real member of the PMC, not just an occasional scanner of email -- however enthusiastically he or she plans to bail once the project adds a few more people. All of this is making the assumption that the Foundation, in eliminating Umbrellas, has not lost its appetite for small projects. Since the board is the group that has to deal with the reports and supervision, I end up wondering if the board needs to be asked for a formal opinion here. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Apache already fixes inquorate (too small) TLPs (by moving to attic or rebooting). Dead TLPs are discovered by the board when no report is submitted. The problem for the IPMC is understanding whether a podling is small but health or if it's stunted through poor health. Graduating a small and unhealthy podling is likely to cause later problems for the board once it becomes self-governing. Graduating an podling before it's learned to be self-sustaining increases the probability that the TLP will fail after it becomes inquorate. If the Incubator is not sure that a podling is small but healthy, then would the board be in a better position to make that judgement after graduation? An easy way to trial conditional graduation would be to allow small podlings (who meet our other graduation criteria) to move from the main sequence to a special set of rules.

Re: Small but otherwise happy podlings
If the Incubator is not sure that a podling is small but healthy, then would the board be in a better position to make that judgement after graduation? In the case at hand (Isis), I'd propose that the IPMC could assert that they are healthy -- with an asterix. Never having seen them incorporate a new contributor, we can't say that they are, in fact, a track record of welcoming new contributors. I have two motivations for looking for a 'special set of rules.' (a) the voices here advocating squashing podlings that don't graduate in some fixed time interval, and (b) the desire to reduce mentor load. The 'special set of rules' would recognize, in effect, that this project still needs some more supervision, but could be trusted with its own svn karma, etc. An easy way to trial conditional graduation would be to allow small podlings (who meet our other graduation criteria) to move from the main sequence to a special set of rules.

Re: Small but otherwise happy podlings
Isis did pick up a few committers, but it's not a project which grows as fast as others of course. We should try to get at bit more folks interrested. But they have 3, 4 frequent committers which do a very good job. And the team has really good community skills! Thus I'm not yet particularly worried.

OK, let's forget about dumping aged podlings We have quite a number of aged podlings with no activity and AWOL mentors. I don't want to forget about that. I continue to want to focus on that. Not on tossing, or allowing to continue indefinitely, or graduating prematurely. Instead I want to verify that the people who signed on as mentors, presumably in good faith at that time, are still on board. Sam, I started this separate thread because I view this situation as distinctive from the problem you are referring to here. I take that situation just as seriously as you do, I think. If you'd prefer that I drop this (less urgent) problem until that one is under control. I'm happy to do so. 2. The third option I presented was 'graduate with an asterix'. However, I didn't really intend to claim that no other possibilities existed. Another possibility is 'remain under the supervision of the incubator PMC but with more autonomy.' I could elaborate, but I'd rather see if there is a remote consensus to go in any direction like this. You want to see if people will agree to sign a blank check? My suggestion is that you present a more concrete proposal than more autonomy if you want people to agree to it. No, I'm not asking for a blank check. I'm asking you and the other more experienced people if you think that the idea of treating Isis-like podlings differently from other podlings by giving them more autonomy and less oversight makes any sense to you. If you all say, 'no, we don't want to change anything,' I'll drop it. If you say 'hmm, let's talk details,' then I'll attempt to flesh out details. However, since your bottom line is 'make a more concrete proposal,' then I will, but I will wait a bit to see if this thread attracts any other thoughts about the overall concept first. If the net result is that aged podlings can live comfortably in the incubator indefinitely, then this is not a proposal that I can support. - Sam Ruby - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

I'm not sure I follow the sentence after related to. implementation of what? Do the validators and extensions relate to JSR-303? Or are they independent? Is this Java-only software, or could other languages be used? Yes, this is Java-only software as it's an implementation of the _Java_ Specification Request 303. And yes, the validators and extensions do relate to JSR-303 as they use and implement the SPI and annotations defined in JSR-303. Some of the validators are not even ours but from commons-validator. Think about BVAL as a api + impl for JSR-303 core, which includes a few validations like @NotNull, @Length, etc itself. Plus a few additional validations like @Email and some wrappers for making selected commons-validation functionality usable as JSR-303 validations.
