I think you may be a bit too concerned about the rules, which results in slightly missing the point. A project graduates from the incubator when the incubator PMC comes to a consensus that the project has resolved any existing legal issues, has built a sustainable community around itself, and is operating in a way that is consistent with how successful ASF projects operate. You should be asking the question "what do we have to do to convince the Incubator PMC that we have done these things", not "how many people do we have to get to vote +1 on letting us graduate". In most ASF projects, it is exceptionally rare to get to the point where you're actually counting votes. When something is contentious enough to require that, it's a bad sign. Just my opinion, not speaking on behalf of the Incubator PMC, etc. -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
