Jim, IMHO, Incubator CANNOT take a decision based on a proposal. A badly written proposal with best of intentions will not make it and folks will not resubmit stuff just because a similar proj got rejected before. I've always thought that the role of Incubator is to make SURE that a project is ready for becoming a normal ASF project.
If we can't scale, it's our problem and we have to fix it. We should not fix it by closing our doors. Then its a old boys (and girls) club.... -- dims On 9/1/05, Jim Jagielski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Aug 31, 2005, at 7:25 PM, Noel J.
