Speaking as a member of the Commons PMC, though not for the ENTIRE PMC: given the comparisons between robust-task and [chain], maybe this could be a seed for a [chain] rewrite/2.0 . Then you'd still have the question of sandbox grant vs. incubation; the problem with the sandbox grant AIUI is that as a non-ASF-committer Min would be "reduced" to the status of a community member, no longer able to make commits directly on the code. Further, this would require that some existing Apache committer(s) be willing to take responsibility for the sandbox component and commit (Min's or others') submitted patches. With the incubation route, Min would become a podling committer. While I would think there would be a fair chance that Commons would be willing to sign on as sponsoring PMC, I am unaware of any previous podlings that have graduated to Commons. Commons being a bit of a special case as TLPs go, the exit criteria for a podling into Commons are less than clear. With this in mind myself and Henri Yandell quite some time ago worked up a proposal for a Commons mini-incubator but received little (actually "no" IIRC) feedback.
Food for thought anyway. -Matt --- On Sat, 3/21/09, Niclas Hedhman <nic...@hedhman.org> wrote: > From: Niclas Hedhman <nic...@hedhman.org> > Subject: Re: Robust-Task introduction > To: gene...@incubator.apache.org > Cc: dev@commons.apache.org > Date: Saturday, March 21, 2009, 4:23 AM > On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 9:04 PM, Min > Cha <minslo...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > I wonder whether I am understanding a message from > you. > > Do you think this project should or can be a component > in Commons? > > Could become... > > > If so, I would like to know how to be a component in > Commons. > > Well, it depends.
