That was an obvious decision. Now, I really do think that having too many mentors is not necessarily a good idea. I rather prefer having someone like Jim with a very deep knowledge on how The ASF work, especially for such a project, with potentially "political" interactions, and more important, a lot of PR to deal with. NetBeans is not one of the project we see often at Incubator, I do think it deserves hot guns. Better have a hard core set of mentors from the beginning than having a bunch of people that will quit during incubation, IMHO. Btw, I really do think that adding someone from Infra is mandatory, due to the high requirement on Infra this project will have.
