Most projects that come to incubate would likely prefer to go straight to the TLP naming. The last time i recall this came up was here: http://apache.markmail.org/message/ifinvq7wqmeoo5ix IMHO we should insist on using the incubator naming for the Chukwa website/svn/MLs because I think Chukwa should just go directly to a TLP and if they have to use the incubator naming it may help them decide that the direct to TLP route really is better ;-) ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
