but that's *not* all it's supposed to be doing. that's the stuff it *must* do for the legal well-being of the asf. for the social well-being, it also is supposed to ensure that people coming in with a new codebase understand how the asf works, how the voting model functions, the release process, peer review, et cetera. one of the reasons the incubator came into existence was because apparently a *lot* of people had become committers withoug any of that ever being made clear. ref the 'why the hell should i want to be an asf member' discussion last year. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
