+1 if you mean to incubate a particular project, since it seems that you have a set of codebases and a community to start.
However, unless it is willing to be more inclusive of other related projects, I don't think that it should be permitted to refer to itself as the Apache Repository project. It is a single instance of such a client tool. Mind you, I would like to see collaboration between these projects, Avalon and Maven.
There are a couple (or more) people from Avalon who would be keen to get invoked with a collaborative initiative of kind assuming that we can get a good broad spectrum of support across Apache projects.
My own interest is coming from the point of view of the Avalon Repository facility. Avalon's Repository initiative is concerned with linking together components and repositories to support aggressive deployment strategies. I've just posted some *very* initial information up on Apache at the following address:
http://avalon.apache.org/repository/about
In addition to what is written there - there is also work on-going within Avalon in the development of IDE tools/plugins linked to this facilities, repository management in general, and broader development interests that tie into the Apache Directory Project's Eve product and all of that component and service management stuff in Avalon. If the initial community is agreeable I would be interested in contributing and I'm sure there are a couple of other Avalon committers that would want get involved as well.
Stephen.
