OK, I personally believe this is in contradiction with the first
commandment of the Apache Way:
"*Community over Code* is a frequent saying that exemplifies ASF
projects. Community uses Openness and Merit, expressed through
Collaborative and Consensus driven work, to build lasting projects
that use a Pragmatic License. While a diverse community is a
requirement for every ASF project, we also expect people to contribute
as Individuals, and wear appropriate Hats."
-> Let our Apache Foundation overlords decide.
I still think that at least there should be common code (ex:
constants, as suggested by Jukka) and I hope that this will the case,
in any case.

Well, here is a citation from http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
(section "The Foundation Incubator"):
"It must be noted that the incubator (just like the board) does not
perform filtering on the basis of technical issues. This is because
the foundation respects and suggests variety of technical
approaches. It doesn't fear innovation or even internal
confrontation between projects which overlap in functionality."
right and as long as OpenCMIS fulfills the requirements of the
incubator I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be two projects
of the same topic.
I also do not see any reason why OpenCMIS should be a sub-project of
Chemistry.
Give it a chance of its own within the current rules of the
incubator and it will either work or not.
If it works, then graduate, if not, then remove it.
Or am I missing something which violates any current rule of the
incubator?

Chemistry uses Abdera to communicate with the server while
OpenCMIS is based on JAX-B and some CMIS specific XML coding.
I've been personally asking myself recently wether it would be
feasible to drop Abdera in favor of JAXB in Chemistry, so IMHO
it's something that should be discussed together and not a
division line for us.
There is a lot of code sharing between the AtomPub and the Web
Services binding. (I couldn't find a Web Services client in
Chemistry.
It would be great if you could contribute one.
Here we are with a working code base that we cannot give up and
that we will maintain in the future for obvious reasons. Our idea
was to make it Open Source and let others benefit from our work.
Apache seemed to be the right place - at least three days ago.
OK, I'm new to this Apache thing, but I don't believe this is the
Apache Way. See: http://theapacheway.com/ or http://www.slideshare.net/jaaronfarr/the-apache-way-hk-sfd-2009
