Hi, Matt. Thanks for your interest and opinion. As you said, this is food for thought. Honestly I think that Robust-Task is suitable for Commons rather than incubator for going to TLP. As you mentioned, however, I am worrying about I don`t have 'commit authority' when it goes to sandbox.
So, I`d like to know how to obtain 'commit authority' when it goes to sandbox. Is it possible? Thanks for your reading. Cheers.
