Take a look at how other incubating projects were set up and then read some of the docs about making requests for this stuff at http://www.apache.org/dev/#pmc > > >One obvious question I didn't see answered -- what does the opensymphony > >project think about all this?

The status file (http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html) you'll be maintaining has a checklist :-) The major developers probably should send a software grant. There might be a corporate copyright holder that needs to send in a CCLA and/or a software grant. Contributors of significant (in amount or size or copyrightability) patches should send a CLA too. Copyright statements, NOTICEs, "credits" sections and the like should all be brought in line with best practice. Etc. cheers!
