Question about roles.

Hi.

I have been reading in depth about the role distribution used in incubator.
First let me say this is the most precise documentation I have seen in any
of the projects I have looked at (a BIG "job well done"; to the people who
made that).

I am just a little bit confused about "integrety". My confusion might be
because there are no problem :-)

My confusion is around
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Process_Description.html#Establishment

Can a mentor be part of the project, or is a mentor expected to keep a
distance (not wearing potentially conflicting hats) ?

In my opinion it should not be a problem, but I can see the danger of
bending the rules.

Rgds
jan I.

Agreed, I've been mentoring projects where I was an active developer,
and others where I had about zero clue what they were doing
technically (hi Flex ;-) and both experiences have been good.

What's more worrying is a lack of diversity, like having all mentors
from the same company, but that's usually flagged when the podling
enters the incubator.

The way I read it and the way I've seen it with the Incubator, mentors
can be active project participants as well.

Thanks,
