Ted,

Ok,

Is the issue here being @xml vs being @incubator?  If they need to 
be @incubator that's totally fine with me.
Or is there something that I'm missing?


IIUC it's all there is to it. 


If you look at this message in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list 
it seems clear that they went into the incubator @jakarta

http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=129&msgNo=2

So incubator folks, what is the correct policy here?
Both Tapesptry and Lenya were special cases. We've set policy since 
then. All new projects come through Incubator (mail lists, sites, CVS). 
Best to just go with the flow.  One would also hope that future projects 
coming in take a while to incubate, and don't declare "success" and exit 
a mere couple of months after arriving. There is no allegation there of 
course :-)

I do not hope that the main sense of the incubator is to have separate
mailing lists...

I agree that there is a problem but I do not like the solution. What about a
one-line automatic signature added to mails which are sent to these mailing
lists?

> Renaming a ML or a CVS module is a trivial thing to do.

While it is not a big change "trivial" is not precisely true. Subscribers
have to update their mail filters/sorting mechanisms, mail archives have to
be merged somehow (or old contributions effectively become unfindable) etc.
And sometimes one of the mailing lists or Bugzilla-entries are simply
forgotten in the process - which can lead to missed mails.

Cheers,
Andreas

IMHO it depends on what the incubator PMC does.  If they *do* create the
lists and the such then maybe they should set policy (meaning telling other
people what do do == policy).  If they rely on the XML project and the
XMLBeans folks to do things then they should allow the XML project and
XMLBeans folks to set their own policy.

Good thing its not an allegation because Tapestry took nearly a year.

This is embarrassing.   How can we have incubated several projects and 
not have this worked out?   No wonder people are complaining about the 
incubator.

I agree. If a new project already has a prospective home, and that
PMC wants the mailing lists and CVS in their namespace, then go for
it. If a project has no prospective home, or the hopeful home's PMC
isn't totally on board yet, then they can always have @incubator.

It was never this big of an issue then (and I still don't think
it's that big of an issue).

These problems are typical for self-incubating incubators ;-)
