I fully agree with that, we should aim for podlings which are "self-sustaining" in the sense that their mentors take care of them with a minimal burden on the Incubator itself. That's self-regulating based on the actual work that mentors are doing. The downside of that is that we still need podlings to converge on a common way of operating, so we need to make sure that the Incubator at large takes a close look at the podling before graduating. As mentioned before I think the project maturity model at https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html is a good tool to help ask the right questions before graduation, and I encourage every podling to publish their self-assessment based on that before their graduation vote (example at [1]). -Bertrand [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/blob/576b3c5d6a7022ac4a8df1ef118666456ce627fb/MATURITY.adoc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
