Robert, so you would want to ask the same question I asked Dain?  To wit:

  - Are you going to make one community from the bunch,
    with everyone having access to work on every piece
    of code?

  - Are you going to have a large, single, PMC with everyone
    having binding decisions over every aspect of the project?

Are those indicators for your definition?  Sounds like you'd have those, and
additional ones.
