Thank you very much for the guidance. Should I join [email protected]? When this project started, I was told to not join that list, but it appears that that is where discussion of new committers is supposed to take place. Thanks again.

But Richard should not wait to send in his CCLA/Grant, ICLA, and ICLAs for any other authors of the code. The CCLA/Grant is the only thing I'd wait for before committing the code to the Tashi repository. If you also want Richard to be a committer, there's a process for that: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html#Voting+in+a+new+committer Craig On Dec 21, 2009, at 12:28 PM, Ryan, Michael P wrote: > I was wondering if I could get some help/guidance form our mentors > on something.
