I personally would like to find out what everyone on this list thinks
about every vote or every issue. In one possible case, the people on
this list can make referendums that are ratified by the PMC. So, please
vote and voice your opinion.

In general I agree. One thing that I won't budge on is votes for a new
PMC member or committer. IMHO, those must happen on the PMC list.

Please speak up, and feel free to nominate others. :)

  nicolaken

I've contacted the Turbine and Avalon lists about the creation of a 
commmon repository of Avalon Components/Services here, and would like to 
help the effort.

I'm also willing to help on the site, being a Forrest dev.

Just as an observation, one of the things that occurs in jakarta, is 
that there is hardly any discussion (that I know of) on the pmc@ mailing 
list.  Instead, the Jakarta PMC elects to have their discussions on the 
general@ mailing list to ensure that all can have their voice heard.

Another observation:  Each of these are jakarta-commons committers.  :)

Yup. That would work for now.

And we may as well start on recognizing certain committers, too. I'll start
that discussion in the pmc@. We don't have any decision rules yet...

I believe the list of initial committers to 'commons' (note: this doesn't
imply eventual commit privs on components) would be something like:

    sanders, scoleburne, mas, bayard, morgand

If I didn't list you, then please send in your name :-)

Shall I just submit a patch with my name all over it then?

no.  at the moment, only the pmc votes are binding.  others are
advisory/indicative, will most probably be followed if they appear
objects, and certainly won't be ignored in any event, but i'm not
going to permit this to start off with any particular group being
able to landslide any issues just by virtue of having more people.

IMO, all the participants on this list are casting binding votes for the
structure. The PMC would reserve the right to prevent "destructive" choices,
but I can't see how poor mailing list organization could truly be labelled
as destructive :-)

As a matter of fact, I'm recording these votes right now in the STATUS
document. In there, I'd consider the organizational aspects to be voted on
by the affected community. However, I believe the PMC has the only binding
votes for the charter (what is a "proper" component to be managed by this
Project); you may note that I listed 'mas' as non-binding for one of the
votes.
