I'm going to update the PMC policy page and would like to update the whimsy tool at the same time.
The current roster/pmc tool updates the committee-info.txt file via svn but does not notify anyone except (indirectly via svn) listeners of committers-cvs. Additionally, the tool will need to add a text field where the user can enter the lists.apache.org permanent link to the [VOTE] or other discussion on the private list where the PMC candidate was approved. There should also be a link to lists.apache.org (private list last 6 months) so the user can choose the correct link. When clicked, the link should open in a tab. Once the discussion link has been entered, the tool will perform the svn update and the tool will send a [NOTICE] email to board with the new PMC member information including the link to lists.apache.org. Once this is working I will update the policy. I'll take a look at the existing code and will probably need some help with the changes. Thanks, Craig Craig L Russell c...@apache.org
