[Discuss] graduation
After reading the parts of the ASF website related to graduation from
the incubator to a top-level project (for instance I think this is the
main link: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.htm), do you
think we're ready for graduation? Is there more we need to do first?

+1 from me, but I have recently received responses from our other 2
mentors, who both agree to help out occasionally, on the PMC - so I'd
like to add them to our PMC list (Sam Ruby, and Ken Coar). Ken
acknowledges that he hasn't been too helpful in the past (but he has
done various things only an Apache "Member" can do, for us) and says
that maybe he can be of better help in the future, and Sam was OK either
way with us putting him on the PMC.

The only thing missing is the draft TLP resolution for the board. See
[1] for the latest resolution template. To fill it, we need three
things:
1. Project scope - You already started that in another thread
2. PMC members - I propose we include all current UIMA committers as
members of the UIMA PMC. And if you'd have me, I'd be happy to stay on
board in an advisory role as a former mentor.
3. PMC chair - See [2] for the duties of the PMC chair. As a reward
you get a nice VP title to put in your CV. Anyone interested in the
post? The PMC chair should be someone who is actively involved with
the project work. I would nominate Marshall for the job, but feel free
to bring up also other names.

Reading through the main link (use .html not htm) there are a lot of
