This is for the proposal, the "Nominated Mentors" section. My observation, after seeing the topics that seem to be getting the most attention from the IPMC members on this list, is that in the the Podling we will want to pay special attention to:
- IP review and remediation, due to the known presence of non-Apache code dependencies - Apache infrastructure, due to sheer size of the project, as well as the desire to have both project-facing and public facing web portals - Build management, due to the resources needed to build and the multiple platforms needed to build and test with - Community development, due to the need to develop and coordinate/collaborate with current and anticipated downstream consumers of the project, as well as potentially forging bi-directional collaborations. These, to me, seem to be areas we want to focus on. I apologize in advance if it is out of place for me to be asking this, but I think that with a project of this size, complexity, visibility, and shall we say drama, we would benefit from having incubation mentors with noted strength in these areas. We currently are listing Jim and Sam as project mentors. This is an excellent start. But if say, another 2 or so IPMC members who have complementary strengths in one or more of the above areas, I'd welcome their assistance. That would allow us to work some of these areas in parallel with each other, and in parallel with other incubation tasks, without being too much of an imposition for any single mentor.
