What specific concerns do you have with this community and this

- the mentor for this project is salaried by the project sponsor !
To date, we have said that an ASF Member is an individual, not an
employeee.
Mind you, we're also discussing that a project SHOULD have
multiple Mentors.
But do you really feel comfortable when the main point of oversight
for the ASF in
an incubated project is in the pay of the project sponsor and quite
possibly
internally reporting to one of the project committer ?
The potential for conflict is huge and I would personnally hate to
be in such
an awkward position.
I am in that position for Jackrabbit. It hasn't been a problem for me,
but it was one of the reasons that I made sure we had several other
ASF members involved as well.
BTW, the "main point of oversight" is the PPMC as a whole, not the
chair.
It is relatively easy to see when that isn't happening. In any case,
that is why we call them incubating projects.
