Thank you, Justin, for your questions. Regarding your three main concerns, here is the current situation:
+ Over the past six months, external contributors (xiaotietietie, kongniancp, etc.) have made several contributions, but still not enough to be included in the initial committers list. This is one of our main works after joining the incabator, to invite more PPMC members/committers from other companies/organizations. + We will revise the proposal accordingly. Our expectation is to follow the Apache Way after entering the incubator, using mailing lists for communication. Currently, we have not effectively utilized mailing lists or JIRA, primarily relying on GitHub issues for communication. + In the past six months, we have been actively attracting new contributors both internally and externally. Since the last proposal submission, we have added three new contributors (xiaotietietie, littlepangdi, system-designer). Although the number of pull requests from external contributors is not high, we will continue to work on this. The increase in external contributors is also a testament to our efforts. We will further improve our documentation to lower the participation threshold, organize more community activities, and attract more contributors. We also hope to attract more third-party developers to contribute during the incubation phase. ---- On 2024/06/18 07:00:20 Justin Mclean wrote: > Hi, > > I have three main concerns: > 1.
