I really don't what you mean by "selected" by the ASF. From what I understand, if you have community and interest from some Apache members it is not hard to get a project incubated.

I can say that based on the feature set alone, I would love to integrate Daffodil into Geronimo.

Hi everyone,

We have a Java RDBMS (Daffodil DB) that is a fully functional and feature-rich small/compact database. The evaluation version of Daffodil DB has been downloaded by over 2500 developers and we also have a substantial user base.

We are now evaluating the benefits of making Daffodil DB Open Source on the Apache Software Foundation. Our alumni list of over 400 developers and a conscious desire to better the product will ensure participation in the project if it is duly selected.

However, the issue that come into my mind is that ASF already has a similar project running under the Derby banner. We understand that ASF is not averse to adopting projects in which there is some functionality overlap with an existing project. However, I still wanted to understand members thoughts on how Derby would affect our chances of being selected by ASF.

Members can have a look at www.daffodildb.com to learn about Daffodil DB or click http://daffodildb.com:8080/eval/filldetails.jsp to download a free 90-day evaluation version. I hope to hear from (some of) you soon.

Warm Regards,
Uday Parmar
