See .

For small-ish projects, we recommend that user traffic be shunted onto the dev
list at first because we have observed that great new contributors tend to
emerge from the pool of highly engaged users.  You want to foster
conversations which flow seemlessly from "how do I do this" to "how do I
implement this" to "welcome new committer so-and-so".  Breaking out a separate
user@ list is not generally desirable until the project has hit critical mass
and dev list traffic is high.

Community growth is a difficult problem that is central to the Apache mission,
and it will be an important challenge for the proposed Aurora podling since
all the initial contributors work for the same company (Twitter).  It will be
tempting to make architectural decisions in private for the sake of
efficiency, but doing so will stunt the project's growth.  It's important to
hold project discussions out in the open where as many people as possible can
witness them and potentially jump in.

The issues/notifications/ci list is a different story.  Making the dev list a
good read with a high signal-to-noise ratio is a good recruitment tactic.
There are often people who are interested in high-level development
conversations and user discussions but who get annoyed by CI spam and issue
tracker trivialities.

In my opinion, it would be fruitful to start off with just dev@, private@ and
commits@ lists; discuss adding a notifications@ list as one of the first
community decisions you make on your dev@ list; and perhaps add a user@ list
later when the time is ripe.  However, all of these decisions are ultimately
up to the community; us Incubator denizens are just providing the best
guidance we can based on what seems to have worked in the past.

[VOTE] Graduate Apache Curator as an Apache Top Level Project

2013-08-28 Thread Jordan Zimmerman 
This message is opening a VOTE to graduate the Apache Curator podling from the 
Apache Incubator as an Apache Top Level Project.
 
Apache Curator entered the Incubator in April of 2013. We have made significant 
progress with the project since moving to Apache. We currently have 4 
committers listed on our status page [1] including 2 who were accepted after 
the podling was formed.  A VOTE was held on the curator-dev group with 8 
binding +1 and 2 non-binding +1 votes for graduation [2]. A VOTE was also held 
to adopt the graduation resolution (below) with 7 +1 votes for acceptance [3]. 
According to Ohloh, Curator has a "large, active development team" [4].
 
During incubation, Curator:
* Produced 4 releases
* Added 2 new Committer/PPMC members and showed constant community activities
* Cleared IP on code
* Developed roadmap(s) for major and minor releases in a community process [5]
* Established that Apache Curator is a suitable name [6]
* Showed that its community is active, healthy, and growing and has 
demonstrated the ability to self-govern using accepted Apache practices
 
Please cast your vote:
[ ] +1 Graduate the Apache Curator podling from Apache Incubator as a TLP
[ ] +0 Indifferent to the graduation status of Apache Curator podling
[ ] -1 Reject graduation of Apache Curator podling from Apache Incubator 
because ...

We'll run the vote for at least 72 hours.

Hi Marvin, Dave,

+1 for dev@, private@ and commits@ lists for start.

If Aurora picks up more clients as "user" which making dev@ list too noisy
we could always request for user@ list.
