[DISCUSS] Graduation

[Matthieu Riou <ma...@offthelip.org>]

Hey guys,

I'm more and more of the opinion that Buildr is getting ready to graduate.
The project meets all the incubator requirements and guidelines and has been
hanging around here for long enough. There have been several releases (some
smoother than others ;) ), the community is growing steadily, no pending IP
issues and development is still pretty active.

So what do you say?

Agreed.  There's been email discussions about these things and I think we
should create wiki pages to summarize and update as needed.

FWIW, I've used buildr to build a product with 55 modules, and i'm 
adding new ones.

Tests show that buildr is fast (faster than ant/maven for the modules i 
have), robust and above all easy to understand, extend and maintain.

It has superb documentation (site, in code), a well thought api and the 
integration with existing maven artifacts makes it easy to drop in and use.

So, from a user point of view, +1.

Btw, One thing I'm still missing is a better process for accepting ideas 
and patches. Maybe my ideas were not good enough so far, but my feeling 
was that sometimes the discussion just died. A better roadmap is also 
required IMHO.

Buildr has been incubating for almost a year, and has seen
a couple of people added to the commit list. Ideally, I'd like to see
another committer added before graduation, but I also agree that
going TLP would help there as well.

Graduating will also attract more users and surely more contributors.
