It's harder for others to join.
Not quite true. The Incubator's policy for any new project is that any ASF committer can ask to join any proposed incubator project and be added to the karma list. The obvious preference is to state this intent when the project is proposed, but the Incubator PMC is ultimately responsible for adding any committers to incubating projects. This is usually deferred to the mentors who are representing the Incubator PMC, which in turn usually defers it to the PPMC at large. But, if a PPMC decides to refuse an ASF committer karma, as an Incubator PMC member, I'd want to know a darn good reason why they rejected that person. So, I don't think the final destination has any impact on who can contribute. If it does, something's wrong. -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
