All contributions will be heartily welcomed. The stance I intend to encourage (and the other mentors and early committers share this intent) is similar to the Mahout project personality ... contributions and contributors are highly welcomed. The only thing that I am pushing for here is a timing detail. Since a vote is ongoing right now, I would like to finish the vote before changing anything. Assuming the vote succeeds (and there is a strong trend that way) then we will do the necessary plumbing to get the project started and be ready for contributions. > > I don't wish to belabor this or stand in your way, good luck.
