If I look at the initial committers list, I see a big portion to be facebook developers. During incubation you should work on diversifying.

Hmm, hosting at googlecode, or sourceforge would statisfy that as well. So why does the project want to join Apache specifically? === Homogenous Developers === > The current set of developers work across a variety of organizations. > Naturally, most are websites with significant backend structure (and > hence a need for Thrift), but the problems they are solving are diverse, > and many don't work in the same programming languages. Again, it seems like a huge contingent of facebook developers. You really should work on diversification during incubation. === Subversion Directory === > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift > > We'd also be interested in using git to store the repo.

There has been an experiment done by the Maven devs, but I'm out of touch with its status. == Initial Committers == > * Mark Slee (mcslee at facebook dot com) > * Aditya Agarwal (aditya at facebook dot com) > * Marc Kwiatkowski (marc at facebook dot com) > * David Reiss (david at facebook dot com) > * James Wang (jwang at facebook dot com) > * Chris Piro (cpiro at facebook dot com) > * Ben Maurer (bmaurer at andrew dot cmu dot edu) > * Kevin Clark (kevin at powerset dot com) > * Jake Luciani (jakers at gmail dot com) == Affiliations == > * People with Facebook email addresses - Facebook > * Ben Maurer - ReCaptcha > * Kevin Clark - Powerset What is the affiliation of Jake Luciani? === Mentors === > * Paul Querna > * Upayavira I think you need one more mentor, but (s)he may present her/himself during the vote for the proposal.
