I remember Amaya: it was an interesting experiment. Wasn't it a W3C project that was briefly funded in the mid-1990s, but that struggled to maintain momentum when funding dried up? I guess much may have happened since I looked. > An AMAYA discussion list exist on W3C mailing list > <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya/>.

Apache doesn't propose anything. Developers/Communities (having discussed it amongst themselves) present a proposal to Apache in accordance with the incubator guidelines[1]. If you want to submit a proposal, you should start by reading the guidelines and other incubator documents. Note that a prerequisite for incubation is that there should be a viable developer community around the project. Does Amaya have that?
