The thread implies it comes down to the 3+ members on the project.
It's not that simple for me.
A single member who either knows all they need to know or (more
likely) knows when they need to ask for guidance from their peers is
all that is needed if (and only if) the IPMC trusts that member to do
the right thing.
However, there are a number of reasons why a single mentor does not
work out including some fundamental requirements for binding votes on
certain activities.
For me success or failure comes down to the quality of the mentoring
and the willingness of the project committers to learn how to apply
the Apache Way to their community.
Ross, I buy that, however what guidelines would IPMC use to allow a
podling to use this model? Does this mean we have 'lesser' and
'greater' members or mentors? Or is it a podling asking to use the
model and then the IPMC deciding based on knowing who is on the podling
PPMC to allow it, or if it is open to any podling, how do we as the IPMC
understand that the project is ready to graduate?
Carl.
