I recall seeing some TLP's having a charter, but I don't think that's an ongoing practice. All projects are part of a single org (ASF) after all. > #4: Focus efforts more on community building rather than on code.

"Community comes before code" maybe a general ASF philosophy, but relative time and prioritization of code vs. "community building" is up to an individual to decide. Some people may code like crazy and never show up on a mailing list except for an occasional release vote; others may spend time on the lists, interacting with the users and fellow developers and never commit anything. Either activity is not a duty.
