Right - I pointed out earlier that it's a binary condition at the ASF, either released or not released. I'm not even picky if they would rather release an alpha or beta (not a bad idea if they followed your org.apache.incubator.foo naming convention) or wanted to call it a GA/Gold release. That wasn't my point, it was simply that ratifying their release would be the "last checkmark" on the steps to graduation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
