Sorry - that last question was mis-leadingly phrased. What I meant to ask was, what kind of value are projects getting from becoming an ASF project? (I got (and answered from my perspective) that question several times in the past, but would love to hear broader input). > As a rule of thumb, if a PMC has three independent and active members, > added a PMC member within the past year, and made a release during > that time and is not reporting any problems, then generally all is > good from a board perspective.

Would it make sense to have public (anonymised) documentation of past examples for that and for what was done to fix those problems? As an addition to the above: If there really is a shift in how open source is being done today, I would bet other projects are facing similar issues and would love to hear our perspective.
