No-one here can veto either of those routes and with both routes the first thing to do would be to put together a proposal [1]. The ASF board decides whether they will accept the "direct to TLP" route - and its usually based on having an existing experienced viable community. If thats not possible, then the route through the incubator is the alternative. Either way, you need to gather the people interested and write a proposal, which from the various threads looks like the following: - Gilles Sadowski - James Carmen - Gary Gregory http://markmail.org/message/ydtkgvazec5bhzdk - Jochen Weidman http://markmail.org/message/gbfqfppf4u3unqo4 - Rob Tomkins http://markmail.org/message/suq3ihvuqppinspf - Eric Barnhill http://markmail.org/message/6wgf5rtcario2teb - Artem Barger http://markmail.org/message/akfekuxp5ujyhbr3 Is there anyone else?
