As a general statement, it is difficult if not impossible to do the right thing when the rules keep changing.
The only sensible thing at this point is to continue the CeltiXfire project as originally proposed and accepted. If there are any retrospective issues or problems let's get them on this or another public email list and fix them.

If the problem is "piling on" in the committer list for the proposal *then that should be addressed at the proposal timeframe and before the podling is accepted*! As mentioned in a different Email, I'm +1 on adding in, in the proposal: Mentors | Initial PPMC | Initial Committers if people want it explicit, but no matter what, this should be handled before podlings are accepted, not after. I think that issue is that some Mentors have different feelings from what is documented... Recall, after all, that people from the outside ONLY have access to what is documented, not our internal discussions... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
