Re: [modeling-pmc] Re: JCRManagement Project Pre-Proposal

Hi,

>From my perspective, while I find the proposal interesting, I wonder about
popularity and diversity from a contribution standpoint.  Also, is there an
initial contribution, or is this all new development?  This can all come out
during the proposal phase (technically, you're in the pre-proposal phase
now), but it will be important.

Also, notice that under the newly updated and Board approved development
process, you'll need to find 2 mentors from the Architecture Council willing
to sponsor this project, among other process points:

oject_Lifecycle

I look forward to hearing more.

Best Regards,
Rich
