I also have this view point, sort of. I think the Incubator is "too heavy"
and currently not at all modeled after the Board (compare 9 directors with
100s of IPMC members). We don't bring Apache Hadoop Release Vetting and
Vote to the Board, it should be with the Mentors and podling community, and
after a release has been made, a line item shows up in the next report.
Empower the Mentors to run the podlings, teach the newcomers and bring it
to TLP.
This list would become a "go to"-list, for inspiration, exchange and
coordination, similar to the ComDev list or the internal Member's list.
About 40% of the last 100 threads on general@ is "vote release"... Cut that
away is a good start in reforming the Incubator...
Cheers
