I already read the poddling reports most months, mainly just for my own interest i don't do anything with what i learn, and most reports are pretty rosy and lack enough real detail to get much of an idea about where a poddling is really at. I do agree that it could be could to update the Incubator reporting. Noel always starts the report with a couple of paragraphs of summary/overview which i think has been good, perhaps we just need to extend that and to have other Incubator PMC members give more input on anything significant they have. I'm not sure that i get what all this hooha is about though, if a poddling misses a few reports doesn't that in itself paint a picture of where the poddling is at? The Incubator policy page has a reasonably concise list of Minimum Graduation Requirements and most of them aren't that hard to do, the main one that often holds things up is "Demonstrate an active and diverse development community". Do we just need to add/remove/clarify these graduation requirements? We could start more proactively terminating poddlings that don't look like they're making it but I'm not sure i understand why we'd want to rush that, what is the problem with having a poddling incubate for more than a year, its not like they're eating up resources, and why all this blaming the mentors? ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
