  =3D=3D=3D Meritocracy =3D=3D=3D
- Apache is a meritocracy.
+ Our initial committer list includes two individuals (Peter Karman and Nat=
han Kurz) who started off as KinoSearch users, demonstrated merit through c=
onstructive forum participation, adept negotiation, consensus building, and=
 submission of high-quality contributions, and were invited to become commi=
tters.  Peter now rolls most releases.
  =

+ We look forward to continuing to operate as a meritocracy under the estab=
lished traditions and rules of the ASF.
- Once a developer has submitted enough good patches then it should be natu=
ral that they are elected to committer. It should be natural that active co=
mmitters are elected to the project management committee (PMC).
- =

- This process of renewal is vital to the long term health of Apache projec=
ts. This is the right place to demonstrate that this process is understood =
by the proposers. Example (OFBiz): OFBiz was originally created by David E.=
 Jones and Andy Zeneski in May 2001. The project now has committers and use=
rs from around the world. The newer committers of the project joined in sub=
sequent years by initially submitting patches, then having commit privilege=
s for some of the applications, and then privileges over a larger range of =
applications... Example (Beehive): We plan to do everything possible to enc=
ourage an environment that supports a meritocracy. One of the lessons that =
the XMLBeans committers have learned is that meritocracies don't just evolv=
e from good intentions; they require actively asking the community for help=
, listing/specifying the work that needs to be done, and keeping track of a=
nd encouraging members of the community who make any contributions...

  Lucy currently has a small community, many members of which originated in=
 the KinoSearch community.
