AFAIK, the individual CLAs are all that is needed to
set up their accounts. If they think that a CCLA is
needed to clarify their situation, then surely that
can follow later.

That is great (thanks for being an exemplar) and it
is obviously useful for you to manage your process.

However i reckon that it is still important to keep
the status page up-to-date. I was recently exited to
read the old proposal, but then became very discouraged
by the state of the Status page.

This is your frontspiece and a useful way to encourage
new developers.

David,

Thanks for the feedback.

I am collecting info needed for account requests as we speak. The CCLA
is expected 'any day now'....

I'll try to ensure that the STATUS page reflects reality, but
seriously; It is a pain in the but compared to a JIRA issue. Also, it
shouldn't be the "public front piece", IMHO, it should be
http://incubator.apache.org/etch that serves that purpose and STATUS
is mainly an Incubator artifact for our process purposes.

As for 'status' being dismysal state, give us a break ;o) We have only
had 5-6 weeks since the VOTE...

Cheers
Niclas
