The ASF does not have its own developers, only our projects have developers. So unless an existing ASF project is willing to adopt the code in question, the only way to bring it to the ASF is to create a new project, see [1]. > ...These projects are related to the programming languages that I am learning > (C++ and C#) and they seem to abandoned a couple of years ago: > > - MonoDevelop (An IDE for C#, .Net development and some C# libraries). > - Anjuta IDE (C++ and IDE for other programming languages) ... The ASF does not have a technical strategy, on purpose, as our mission is to provide space and resources for our projects to exist, as opposed to developing specific types of software. Incubating an ASF project is really about community and governance, not as much about what the software does or even about its quality - but see [2]. To enter the incubator, a project needs at least an embryo of a community, so a first step would be to either form a community around those projects, or motivate their existing community, if any, to join the Incubator. As the projects that you mention seem to be IDEs, maybe there's a way to morph them into NetBeans extensions, that would be https://netbeans.apache.org/ Hope this helps! -Bertrand [1] https://incubator.apache.org/cookbook/ [2] https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
