Right now it is modeled after jakarta, with 3 members. I would like to propose changing this number to include more people - I think the right solution is more closer to what httpd and apr projects are doing, where the PMC is composed of most active commiters. My proposal is to modify the charter so that a jakarta-commons PMC is composed of all active commiters. This will be volunteer-based, in the sense that any active commiter who wants to become part of the PMC will announce his willingness to participate. Questions: - should we vote on the volunteering offer ? What is httpd doing ? - Should we impose a 2-3 month wait period for new commiters ? ) - should the pmc have a separate mail list ? ( I personally don't think so - but that's how other pmcs are organised ) The commons PMC members will split the task of monitoring the files. All decisions will continue to be taken by majority vote of all jakarta-commons commiters. Not that this is not a proposal to form a top-level project - just to better organise ourself. Jakarta-commons is IMO at the core of jakarta - with the most diverse set of commiters from almost all jakarta projects. Any major issue will be forwarded to the Jakarta PMC. -- Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
