I've suggested it once or twice when a proposed podling had a lot of interested parties already involved. This is a two-edged situation. On the one hand, instant size and diversity. On the other hand, that may represent the pool of participants for some time to come, leaving the podling a bit stalled when they have done everything to deserve graduation except add people. Overdone, this amounts to cheating. "George is thinking about contributing. Great, let's have him walk the process and get added, instead of adding him to the initial list." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
