How is merging the communities into the Geronimo TLP going to correct these
problems? Is the Geronimo PMC prepared to add all of you as Committers on
the TLP, and add all or most of you to the Geronimo PMC? Is this going to
result in a single community, or more integrated, better, meeting place for
multiple communities? If the latter, that would indicate to me that you
really should be a TLP. See Henri's e-mails for a fuller discussion of
Federation.
And what about community growth? When TLPs have sub-projects, how do they
go about building up each sub-project? How quick would the target PMC be to
grant TLP karma and PMC status to people interested in working on just one
of these disjoint projects? Or would it have disjoint karma, and a smaller
number of people with binding votes? See Henri's and Robert's comments on
these issues.

So you see putting everything together in Geronimo as a first step towards a
significant reorganization, with multiple TLPs?

So do I. The question appears to be where/how to take that journey. :-)
