Hi,

I am an independent consultant interested in mentoring this project.

Great to hear of your interest in this proposed project.

A few things are not clear to me:

1. The Apache site http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
states that a working codebase is essential for incubation. How do we
start if we are at the specification level ?

It's not a hard requirement. Most projects start with a working-but- not-finished code base. It's been shown that an existing code base makes it easier to attract a community, but an existing specification might be sufficient to motivate a community. The response to the proposal is probably a good indicator as to the level of interest. So if you know of others, talk it up and have them participate in this discussion thread.

2. Is it necessary for a mentor to be an Apache member or part of the
Incubator PMC? How do I join otherwise ?

Best regards,

Craig

"Mentor" is an official role in Apache. It's necessary for a Mentor to be part of the existing Apache community and to have experience with "The Apache Way". I assume you're not already an Apache committer. If that's the case, you can participate as a committer if the Kato project is accepted.

Thanks and Regards,
Sonal

I've only had one comment so far, so I'm assuming that either I'm missing something, the proposal is not clear, or (most likely) its not greatly Anyone like to give a novice a helping hand and explain what it is I need to
