CouchDB
would benefit from growing its community a bit more first.
as a general point, i tend to agree
i wonder whether we might now be pushing a little too hard for
projects to graduate
(i wasn't commenting on CoachDB in particular but i'll add a couple of
specific comments)
Thanks for clearing things up. I understand the comment now.
I am not familiar with how "mature" other projects are when they
graduate,
maybe we are just not there yet. I just like to point out that
CouchDB was
a healthy project before entering incubation with mailing lists,
regular
contributors, bug tracking & releases. I understand that ASF-
guidelines
are different and that we might still belong in the Incubator.
i don't see it in terms of belonging or not, but just whether the
Incubator has taught CoachDB everything it needs to become a
successful Apache project. recruiting new committers is an essential
skill.
As mentioned before, I don't think we lack this skill. We only
exercised it once
while in the incubator but at least three times before that.
Ultimately though
this is not for me or us to decide. Hence our request for feedback
here :)
On the "push", I don't know what you are referring to exactly. We
don't see
any pressure from the ASF or Incubator or Mentors or outside to
graduate.
We as the project just felt we are ready. Considering our mentors
+1'd our
desire to graduate, they don't have these concerns. Who is
"pushing" here?
there's a general feeling that graduation has been too slow in the
past and that podlings should be encouraged to devote more energy
towards pushing to graduation
Ok, cool. I don't think we are affected by this :)
Cheers
Jan
