Lucy was a reboot. It had withered as a subproject under the Lucene umbrella before coming to the Incubator. The parallels aren't exact, but it's a precedent. Of all my experiences at Apache, nothing taught me more about the Apache Way than collaborating on the proposal for Lucy's entry into the Incubator. Analyzing the flaws in how Lucy-as-Lucene-subproject was structured and devising plans to remedy those flaws was a great exercise. I'm not aware of dedicated Incubator documentation for rebooting projects, but perhaps scanning the Lucy proposal would be helpful: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/LucyProposal > If not, any chance people could cast any eye over the proposal, and either > fix stuff if they can, or flag it for work if not? The proposal is at: > https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/XMLBeansProposal I've read through the proposal and it's OK but I think it could withstand additional detail. I suggest having the initial committers attempt to revise it. The questions in the Incubator's proposal template are very thought provoking.
