i knew that this would come up sooner or later :-) i had intended to bully someone into championing it for me but that seemed a tad perverse and wasteful in fact RAT is an even more extreme: since the incubator is lacking good documentation for the bootstrap process, i've been doing absolutely everything (including as much infra as possible) and writing it all up but then again, RAT is a very unusual project. for example, it's rare to find a proposal where an overwhelming majority of incoming committers are Apache Members and the rest long term contributors (five plus years). > that it would be > considered kosher for a member to be both champion of > and an initial committer on a given proposal? yes but i wouldn't recommend it as a model > And in > contrast, that it _would_ be considered a conflict of > interest/logistical impossibility for a committer to > be a mentor? not at all an impossibility but i would strongly discourage this model - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
