Re: [wtp-dev] RE: Committer Status for ...

Arthur,
I was the first one to go through the voting process to become a
committer in WTP and all the committers were expected to vote at that
time. I remember that after my voting completed(thanks to the efforts
of Dominique) there was a discussion on the inpracticality of this
voting rule and it was changed. I checked the project charter and
there is a note added on voting stated as "As per the Eclipse Board
meeting of December 8, 2004, the WTP PMC interprets this to mean; at
least 3 positive and no negative votes within a given voting period".
I guess this means we are OK.
