Hi guys,
I've taken the liberty to refine the notion of active committer on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Committership
Basically the idea is that active means having at least 1 commit in a period of 1 year (rolling period).
We had discussed this and it was hinted in the text I rewrote.
I do not really disagree, but I do not remember that discussion, any pointer ? I thought initially that active committers where active until they are emeritus, and the switch is done by proposal and discussion with the concerned committer. I probably repeat myself, but there is many ways to contributes, other than purely doing a commit. Even if I do not want to plead for myself in particular here, my recent works on xwiki-store with Caleb is a good example, no commit from me, but surely a real participation in Caleb's commits.
We're talking about Committers here, not contribution. You don't need to be committer to participate and contribute. Thanks -Vincent
Moreover, as you have said before, actively participating is not always easy, in particular in these days, and I try to still actively participate, while focusing on points that I know well or matters most for us since I have no time for more currently. I really wish to be able to do more.

Just wanted to make sure we all agree about it.
This notion can be useful on: * the hall of fame page * the new download page where companies can list their number of active committers
Thanks -Vincent
