Incubation progress of JDO podling

[Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>]

Hi,

As being an observer in the JDO incubating project, I want to let other 
members of the Incubator to know that;

1. The collaboration aspect of the technical sides has been handled perfectly. 
Jira issues are posted, mailing list are used to discuss various approaches, 
consensus styled decisions and a high rate of progress.

2. Community-wise things are slightly less rosy. The people at Sun and 
Tech@Spree are doing a great job on pushing the technical side of this 
project, but probably uncertain on how to engage more people effectively. I 
think the immense speed of the project is probably a deterent, and not really 
a fault of the project or people in it per se. Also, I think the effective 
split with the sister project jpox.org, is making the participation looking 
smaller than it really is.


Craig, Michelle, Michael^2 and everyone else; I think you have adjusted well 
to the Apache Way (after a shaky start :o)  ) and keep up the good work. 
Please note that from a Incubator graduation point of view, finishing the 
"product" is secondary. Getting more helping hands from a diversity of people 
is priority.

Other important items missing;

 * The Incubator project page does not contain the JDO project. (Is that the 
responsibility of the incubating project or the Incubator?) 

 * There is no STATUS file produced. It should go into 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-publish/projects/


I hope this will further the incubating process of this exciting project :o)


Cheers
Niclas Hedhman

It is the responsibility of the incubating project and its mentor.
The incubator is just the place where we work, not some other group
of people.

Yeah, it sure would be a bummer if I had to delete the subversion
module just because we don't have enough evidence of provenance.
Somebody should make that a priority real soon.
