Andy, Thanks for responding and yes we have considered sourceforge route as well, but we want to explore our options with Apache foundation as there are mutual benefits here. Some of the work that we may open source are not trivial projects, but a suite of products that might extend the usability of apache foundation projects such as Jakarta. So it does fall into that "interesting project" category and we would like to find out more about voting rules, community building and other things that Incubator/apache may help us with. Since this is a general list, perhaps detail discussions on this topic are not appropriate here, and may be we can communicate offline if necessary and I can get right people involved from our side.
Appreciate your help. Bharat Welingkar Application Architect, Palm Inc. 400 N. McCarthy Blvd. Milpitas, CA 95035, 408.503.7069 [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. Sorry about your Palm crashing, hope you were able to recover some/all of the data. As devices get more and more pervasive, it is not cumbersome to back up the data wirelessly these days... -----Original Message----- From: Andrew C.

It may be easier to start this elsewhere on neutral ground like http://sourceforge.net. If you have an interesting project, I'd be happy to help advise on Apache voting rules, community building, etc for such a project. -Andy...the one who is crying because his Palm V crashed for the first time in 3 or so years and lost all of his data and he hasn't backed it up in about a year :-( Bharat Welingkar wrote: >Hi, > >I work in Palm Inc. and there has been some interest in forming an incubator project under Apache License for advancing enterprise mobile software components to wider audience. I have visited the incubator project page (which seems to be under construction) as well as read the FAQ, but can't seem to figure out what is the next step. Perhaps if you can forward this to appropriate person or send me information on who I need to talk to, I would appreciate it. > >Thanks. > >Bharat Welingkar >Application Architect, Palm Inc. > >400 N.
