Looks great! Also looks like you've got plenty of interest, so that's also great :-) Some random thoughts: * It reads like you have some interesting amount of work ahead of you dealing with the legal side of things, but y'all did a very good of explaining it in the proposal I think. * I think the way that you deal with having debian as a dependency is fine; I am also assuming there's nothing _that_ fundamental about the use of debian that someone could not replace it with something different. * I suspect the most challenging GPL dependency could be mysql if you use a lot of mysql-specific features. Fortunately, Apache APR has already come up with a good model for how to limit the licensing dependency on GPL databases, while still allowing the 99% of the people that want to use them to do so (see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk/README ). * I don't think it is *needed* to have a full plan for how you deal with every single dependency in the proposal. That sounds like a lot of work. Having such a plan is of course good, but aside from that, you already have a good "plan for a plan" and I think that'd be good enough to start incubation with. * Something similar is probably true for the mentioned website(s) -- assuming they don't involve loads and loads of traffic or scary spam-ridden user forums, it is fine to list them as things-to-do and then tackle the finer details of it during the incubation process, it sounds like some of this stuff will take a while. OTOH if you're shipping thousands of VM images out to people every day, infra may want to say something about that...but that doesn't seem to be the case :) cheers, Leo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
