| RE40 | Convenience binaries can be distributed alongside source code but they are not Apache Releases -- they are just a convenience provided with no guarantee. | YES. Convenience binaries are only distributed via Maven Central https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.apache.rya | adina |
| RE50 | The release process is documented and repeatable to the extent that someone new to the project is able to independently generate the complete set of artifacts required for a release. | YES.

| Quality | |||
| QU10 | The project is open and honest about the quality of its code.

Per https://www.apache.org/security/ and https://www.apache.org/security/committers.html | adina |
| QU40 | The project puts a high priority on backwards compatibility and aims to document any incompatible changes and provide tools and documentation to help users transition to new features. | YES. Release notes describe changes made by that release (extracted for Jira). The project aims to make no backward incompatible changes within a given major version. | adina |

| CO40 | The community is meritocratic and over time aims to give more rights and responsibilities to contributors who add value to the project. | YES. Three Two new committers and PPMC members have been added during incubation, based on meritocracy. | adina |
| CO50 | The way in which contributors can be granted more rights such as commit access or decision power is clearly documented and is the same for all contributors. | TODO | |
| CO60 | The community operates based on consensus of its members (see CS10) who have decision power. Dictators, benevolent or not, are not welcome in Apache projects. | YES. The project works to build consensus. All votes have been unanimous so far. | adina |
| CO70 | The project strives to answer user questions in a timely manner. | YES. This can be improved. TODO | |
| Consensus Building | |||
| CS10 | The project maintains a public list of its contributors who have decision power -- the project's PMC (Project Management Committee) consists of those contributors. | YES. https://rya.apache.org/community-members/ lists the committers.
