In summary, I tried to add my point of view in a previous message on this thread [1]. In parallel, I'm trying to start discussions around project roadmap, etc to see if we can get people excited and contributing. Having said that, I believe Ant's concerns are valid, but assuming we can get people like you and Dims on the PMC which have been very helpful on mentoring and helping the project releases, etc... we should be able to have the same sustainability as a podling or as a TLP which seems to be the consensus around IPMC. In the worst case, if we fail and get retired, it does not metter if we are a podling or a TLP, we can get retired anytime.
