Hi Justin,

As far as I see, people are confused about how the system works at Apache
when they first entered to Incubator. Such a Cookbook will be great for
them. Data is sparse through ASF resources and it is not easy to access
them. I just want to mention some issues people are often confused:

* How to vote on a release.
* What is the template for a VOTE thread of a committer.
* Which actions need what kind of consensus.

i.e. I can find information here about types of consensus:

http://forrest.apache.org/guidelines.html#approvals

or I can access some information about the committer process:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wookie/project_admin/process/committerVote.txt

It could be nice to add such information in one place. As another example,
this page has some information about decision making which is not enough:

https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#decision-making

We should have a guideline for them. One place, all necessary questions
answered.

On the other hand, we should have a guideline for mentors too. Including
responsibilities of them, how to mentor a podling project. I know that
these are answered at somewhere but some of them are not adequate and most
of them are split into many mail list threads.

Kind Regards,
Furkan KAMACI
