+1 I've been significantly impressed with the quality of the Click project from both a community and a code standpoint.
This is a small but innovative project that illustrates the benefits of the Apache way. Besides Will and Henning's Apache experience, Malcolm Edgar is also involved in Apache Cayenne. The committers come from several locations and are encouraging of users and nw developers. New features, which get added on a regular basis, are coming from both the committers and the larger community. In general, the tone of the project is professional and inclusive. There's really very little more which this project can learn from the Incubator-- it's clearly time for it to graduate. A concern which was raised last time Click came up for graduation was that the project had not added any additional committers beyond the original pool. That is no longer true-- a new committer has been added and I expect will join PMC within a few months. The PMC remains on the lookout for repeat contributors who are candidates for becoming new committers. Jim notes that there are only 5 PMC members. I'm not worried about this-- this is comparable to many other small TLPs. As more committers join the PMC this will grow over time.
