Why are you blaming the XMLBeans guys for your not having your act together?
I'm not blaming them in any way, Ted. I'm surprised that this is what you have gathered from my mails, and if this is the case, I apologise.
It's all well and good for them to introduce themselves, but that's not what is holding us up right now. Right now, we're held up because we don't have a public mailing list where we can see whether their behavior matches their talk.
Here?
Remember that Incubators *don't* know anything about projects waiting to get incubated, while sponsor instead have been talking with them for weeks or months. It's a totally different POV.
They can say all they want about how they want to work as a community and allow non BEA developers and so forth, but we need to see them doing that. I thought that was the point of incubation.
This is a common misconseption of what the Incubator PMC has to do and this makes me even more sure that this PMC is needed.
Have you looked at our STATUS file? Well, you will see that there are many things that have to be checked that have nothing to do with how they work together. As most Apache guys, you see communities working together and focus on that. But other things are also important, and that's why the Incubator PMC had to be created.
I'm not saying that your rantings are unjustified, just that there are needs that nevertheless have to be fulfilled.
Remember that your rants about how much time it takes to make decisions are not directed to us, but to Apache, and how Apache works currently. Decisions take time, and the Incubator takes time like any other project. The decision we were taking now is based on the problems about incubation of Lenya, which were recent. And the way infrastructure is handled has nothing to do with the Incubator.
I have resigned from the Avalon PMC also because I want to help more in the Incubator. There has yet not been a serious tentative to make the Incubation work. We need volunteers, and I see that they are coming; let's get back to work.
