When Judah fixes the tag, a zip of the tag will be pulled and he and/or I will prepare a zip for IP clearance. Headers, LICENSE, NOTICE will be added, but these changes do not need to be pushed back to his repo. The IP clearance zip will be made available to the incubator folks and it will document the provenance of every file based on Apache policy. > >> It seemed to me it would be faster to just donate a tag in his repo >Which it looks like we are currently missing (the tag that is). > >> And again, I think we should be thankful for the effort he has put in >>so far, and save the challenges for >> IP clearance on the incubator list. >The code looks good, and I do thank him for the effort he put into it. >It's just a pity that a lot of this hasn't been done in public, it it had >you would of had more people helping and IMO the process would of been >smoother/faster.

I agree that there was some good general principles about donations in my discussions with Judah, but he did a good job of summarizing them in his last post on this thread. I'm just not sure that 800 folks needed to read the details or cared to read the details of these discussions, and if they started adding their own questions, there's a chance that it could have become too much work. If there are folks in the community who want to become more involved in screening future donations, let me know and we'll see if we can get you involved in the next donation. I think it is good enough shape that the incubator will not reject every file, and what is left will be a solid contribution. -Alex
