No I don't think this is non-sense. However note that as Jim pointed out, the difference here, that would favor the direct TLP route, is the fact that everyone working on the voting tool are already Apache Committers and Members. Conceivably they already know the "Apache Way". Then again a quick incubation process might help get an extra sanity check from the Incubator. Your point makes sense considering outside participants to build a larger community around the tool. Incubation might be a good environment for a mass influx of "new to Apache", interested parties to participate. But it does not sound like they're going to be directly involved, knocking on our doors immediately. Also there's no IP to vet. I presume this is more a matter of making the software an official Apache Product with PMC endorsed releases that other organizations like OpenStack can use immediately. +1 Setup TLP without incubation, yet I can understand arguments for a quick incubation. -- Best Regards, -- Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
