One definition: a top-level project that has no deliverables of its own. All the packages and what-not come from 'subprojects.' Considering that each TLP has a PMC, and the PMC is supposed to oversee the TLP, one possible outcome is a non-representative PMC. Another is a PMC comprised of representative individuals from the subprojects, who have little or no other common peership than they're all under the same TLP. PMCs are supposed to be composed of peers who are immersed in the project's work -- hard to do when the TLP doesn't have a deliverable. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRBHQBprNPMCpn3XdAQLlrQQAiuo+oX93HujSTUWWjNbb7aDZWA/Xnxpz tAKwkyANXfAbfgDM72T9TB2mlmKvHz0m9JExghmNCz6obh5p+7ny4Koyw8is/vxi IbsSgEJ32UZXVLtVenTpusvcTBIy2H5HW0ifUhVtPC4QpMuPRWhCBzVZdQc/GILv lIdWl5uVs/Y= =Mbk0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
