You're right, and thanks for giving a concrete example (well, as I co-mentored it I should have thought about the Wicket case ;-) >...

That could be an option...but, and also taking into account remarks made by others in this thread, that could lead to too complicated rules. Not sure if we want to go that route. > ...I also think that the diversity should be discussed during the proposal > period.

One of the > goals of the incubator is to increase diversity, not stifle communities.... I like the idea: discuss initial diversity among the Incubator PMC, when a new project comes in, with the option of limiting the number of initial non-ASF committers. But no hard rules on that. This might be easier to implement than having hard rules for initial diversity. The problem is that such a discussion would be subjective, are people comfortable with that? I'd be ok with trying that for a given period, and re-evaluating later. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
