Hi, I was just looking at the project page and how is it possible that the incubator PMC can sponsor code coming into Apache. There are five projects listed there:
AltRMI FtpServer Directory Ruper Geronimo So what is the deal with these projects? They are destined to become top-level projects? Even for code within Apache, which applies to the first two, that would still seem odd. But even more odd is a project that comes from outside Apache going directly to TLP certainly seems odd to me even for something like Geronimo and Eve which have significant codebases. Do these projects just have to pass the checklist or is there a minimum time spent requirement? For tool type codebases like JaxMe and XMLBeans it seems natural for an umbrella PMC to pick them up but what's going on with Ruper? This is not something that warrants a TLP so who's the sponsoring PMC and where is the code going if incubation is successful? -- jvz.
