Labs has no say 'bout what's happening at the Incubator but could be anticipating what's unwritten policy at the Incubator. > >> Incubator: Come from the outside with a project (code + community) > > We don't have code, but we have a few interested people. > >> Labs: Start from scratch (without code nor community) > > Not possible, because some of our contributers are not ASF committers. You could start at labs having those contributors contribute via patches/JIRA and the ASF committers committing their stuff. Don't know if this is acceptable to you. Then, sooner or later you'd go to the Incubator where they would become "proper" committers. ATM, I don't see any other possibility for starting out at the ASF.
