Proposal: It should be a *requirement* for the podling to self-document their maturity model answers in the [DISCUSS] thread before IPMC graduation vote. The requirement is having done it, not passing it. It's *very* helpful to have podlings consider their growth using some form of structured and consistent criteria, so IPMC (and board) can consider how different podlings see themselves compared to past podling history. It doesn't mean every podling has to say "Yes 100%" to every question, just that they've considered each point and can describe their situation there if not. I'd expect plenty of podlings would have some missing or "we're not completely here" on some points, but still be healthy and well-self-governing communities ready to graduate. -- - Shane https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/resources --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
