I think it's better not to openly invite others for sponsorship. I'm fine with us choosing who to approach and approach them for a possible sponsorship, but the way it's done today, we need to be prepared to say no to those who apply, and that needs some reasons. It also allows us to see the reaction one at a time --- I think making slow but steady move is better than one giant move, so as not to wake up the sleeping tiger. -- Kohsuke Kawaguchi | InfraDNA, Inc. | http://infradna.com/

I was actually thinking the opposite, fully open strikes me as "safer" insofar that we're not precluding anybody's involvement in the project, I thought it also made the site look less like another facet of InfraDNA and more like a community project > It also allows us to see the reaction one at a time --- I think making > slow but steady move is better than one giant move, so as not to wake up > the sleeping tiger.
