[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-44?page=comments#action_12431699 ] Robert Burrell Donkin commented on INCUBATOR-44: ------------------------------------------------
> One of the issues I've noticed in incubation is that the incubating project > often does not know > who can help in what area. good point need to address this comprehensively somewhere in the documentation: possibly the FAQ or in a separate document. > The trouble with the proposed patch is that it removes any clue as to > who might be the usual party to request help. good point > Maybe a better resolution would be to identify the responsible party for each > of the tasks noted: i'd assumed that a Mentor would always do these tasks (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-42). >Setting up the svn repo: > >The general "requesting resources" page says, "New projects will need to ask >for their > SVN-space to be created. Send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Cc your PMC. > Add an issue to Jira in the "Subversion" category." What it doesn't say is > who usually does the > request. > > Creation of mailing lists: > > The general "requesting resources" page says, "Gather the required > information about the new > lists. This includes the precise name and domain, the email addresses of the > people who will be > moderators (ideally three+ and well spread). Send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Cc > your PMC. > Add an issue to Jira in the "Mailing Lists" category." > > Who would normally be expected to submit the request? good question :-) it's been quite laissez-faire in the past but that's probably not a good answer going forward probably the answer should be something like: anyone on the PMC can but typically the PMC chair will probably would be good to add that to the document > There is no detail on how to add an issue to which jira. Maybe a direct > reference to the correct > jira would help here. +1 submit a patch :-) for the www.apache.org site, use INFRA with component website https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&pid=10410&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&component=11708 - robert > [policy neutral] cut discursive material better handled in the guides > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: INCUBATOR-44 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-44 > Project: Incubator > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: policy > Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin > Assigned To: Robert Burrell Donkin > > Cuts non-policy discursive material that is better located in the guides. > This change is intended to be policy neutral. > Index: site-author/incubation/Incubation_Policy.xml > =================================================================== > --- site-author/incubation/Incubation_Policy.xml (revision 437587) > +++ site-author/incubation/Incubation_Policy.xml (working copy) > @@ -285,21 +285,9 @@ > <li>Incubator PMC mandating a helper Mentor</li> > </ul> > <p> > - Your project's mentors are able to undertake many of the setup > - tasks.
