Hi, Apache Flex is just voting on is guidelines (and is likely to pass tomorrow) if you need something to base yours off. [1]
We didn't realise that we actually needed guidelines, but a couple of things come up and we released we didn't know what the default rules actually were and teh existing documentation doesn't make it 100% clear. The default HTTP server project has a few unexpected things in it eg who considered an active committer, only PMCs can veto code changes, only committers and PMC members are encourage to vote and a few possibly confusing terms eg "Lazy Majority" and possibly unclear rules on voting in committers (consensus or majority?). I sure everyone on the HTTP project knows what they and what's practised may differ slightly from what documented.
