[eclipse-pmc] [Fwd: slides to preview]

Title: Bjorn Freeman
Kim (committer), Jeff & Mike (eclipse.incubator project leads), and the Eclipse PMC, (cc/ Mike)
Kim has requested that the Equinox Transforms Bundles graduate from the incubator to the main Equinox code line. Looking at the draft of the slides (attached), I see slide 5 - IBM/Rational is the only client - and slide 9 - there is only one developer, also from IBM/Rational - and slide 8 - there is no API.
  1. How can this be seen as having vibrant and diverse committer and adopter communities? (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php#6_3_Reviews and http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php#6_3_2_Graduation_Review)
  2. And, without any APIs, how can this be seen as following the purposes of the Eclipse Foundation, e.g., "supplying frameworks" (http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202003_11_10%20Final.pdf; section 1.1)
  3. Similarly, without any APIs, how does this have "balanced progress in creating both frameworks and tools" (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php#6_3_Reviews)?
Could you clarify how this is a "common good" framework rather than code for a single company's products that just happens to be hosted at Eclipse?
