why? if the idea excites people but the code sucks, are we going to turn it down?
In that case, we might decide to accept a new project into the incubator for the same purpose, but decide not to accept the sucky code.
java.apache.org history shows a long history of failures in incubating projects without code. jakarta doesn't, exactly because we established that rule.
It would be a *major* step back if we lifted that requirement.
Keep in mind that availablility of the code is a requirement during incubation, of course. The question is what's an appropriate bar to set *before* a project is accepted into the incubator.
Ok, just making sure.
Let's also admit there are open source projects out there, perhaps even within the ASF, whose code quality makes it difficult to build communities around.
Absolutely. In fact, some of the ASF projects are simply too good.
