Hello Cliff,
Yes, you're right. Aspect# and DynamicProxy discussions happens on sf.net users mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=40942
Not heavy traffic but now that NHibernate project is doing some heavy tests with it, more discussions should come.
Anyway, in Castle proposal, section 1.1.1.2 - Community, it's stated 'The Aspect# project have three developers involved, and the Castle container has only one. This incubation process has the objective of attract more contributors, new ideas, new perceptions and even new use cases that will drive our roadmap.'
And section 1.1.2.1 states 'We've been using our projects in commercial applications to practice the eat-your-own-dog-food and consequently improve the design and features as needed. However this is not enough and this incubation process is exactly to make our community stronger.'
Thus we consider this incubation process as a attempt to build a community. If we fail on this, we wont graduate, and neither we would like to graduate without a community.
But now, if we should have a strong community to enter incubator, then we will have to wait a few months :-(
Cheers, hammett

Sorry for the late reply. I thought it was more appropriate to reply to this thread rather than the [VOTE] thread if I was primarily asking a question/voicing a concern...
From the proposal and a quick look at the SF sites,
I get the impression that there isn't much of a community behind this project yet. You mention that in your proposal and the mailing list archives look relatively sparse. In other words, I don't see lots of development discussion on the lists nor much of a presence of a user community. Please correct me if I've missed something, which is quite possible. I also understand some of this comes from Avalon, so you may have a community there.
I think there are two schools of thought about whether new incubator projects should have some sort of community to start with or whether that only needs to exist upon leaving incubation. Personally, I lean towards requiring some community around a project before entering incubation, because I fear that doing otherwise will eventually be difficult to scale.
So, hammett, please correct me if I've misunderstood the state of the Castle community. Also, other Incubator PMC members should weigh-in about how much this even matters.
Otherwise, I think your proposal looks good (and interesting).
Cliff
