David,
maybe I'm wrong but in an ASF project many of the project's
administration tasks (commit privileges on part of the project's SVN
trunk etc...) are managed by the project's PMC Chair. The PMC Chair is
not necessarily an ASF member; since many of the admin tasks are now
carried on by you, I really think it will be a natural thing that you
will be the Chair in the 'new' Incubator Apache OFbiz project.
Yoav, David W.... am I wrong?

The roles of certain people, especially Andy and me, will change quite a bit and we will no longer be able to (or have to...) do things that we have done in the past in the administration of OFBiz.

Hopefully everyone involved will push toward the goals for the tools in a disciplined way that does not sacrifice tomorrow for today, but of course that is just my perception and with a larger group working on the direction OFBiz hopefully the project will move beyond that... With the move to the ASF OFBiz becomes a much more community and group driven project and so while I'll continue to voice my opinion, I'll no longer be in a position to enforce it. Of course, for many people this might be a welcome change. ;)
