What triggered me to write a response earlier in the first place however, was the negative vibe that pulsated from the message. Does Apache have grave problems finding enough volunteers? Is it felt too many projects incubated without trying to contribute to the 'greater cause'?
IMHO, yes.
Or is it a matter of new incubators not being humble enough when expressing their views?

However, rather than this atmosphere of deterrence that can be seen in this email and others, why not try to get a more positive message across? 'Hey, great you want to join this fabulous club, let us make the best of it, looking forward to working together with you blah blah'.
If they want to join because they want to help fulfill the ASF's mission, then sure. But it is not our goal to have more projects for the sake of having more projects. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
