We're not perfect - but that's not the point of incubation, really. At this point, at least from my POV, we're "policing" ourselves well and following Apache policies. If we waited until we had every process sorted out and no confusion... well, that'd be a very long time. And that's not a bad thing. > I tend to agree with you Chip, that the incubation process itself may > not teach us anything further about these things, and they're just > things we need to iron out over time. +1 Graduating isn't saying "we're perfect now" just that we've reached a stage where we can handle issues within the project and/or know when to reach out for help from other parts of the Apache project - like @legal, @trademarks, etc. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
