[VOTE] Graduate JSPWiki from Incubator
Hello all, The Apache JSPWiki project entered Incubator in October of 2007. Since then we have added two new committers from diverse organizations. The codebase of our product has been growing slowly but surely, and we think is mature enough to go through graduation; also, we have made two releases following the ASF policies and guidelines. Thanks to the mentorship we have received through this period, we have learnt to self-govern and grow our community using accepted Apache practices. Given these milestones, I feel that JSPWiki is ready to graduate from Incubator. The first step towards graduation is to vote as a community that JSPWiki is ready to graduate. If the vote is successful, we will draft a board resolution proposal and call it to vote on the general Incubator list. The complete graduation process is described [1]. Please cast your votes: [ ] +1 Graduate JSPWiki from Incubator [ ] +0 Indifferent to graduation status of JSPWiki [ ] +1 Reject graduation of JSPWiki from Incubator This vote will remain open for at least 72 hours from now.
