Dear Kris, please feel free to post the full proposal to the Incubator wiki, here: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/, e.g., at: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ORDSProposal
You will need permissions to do so, so let someone on this list know when you register for your wiki account. Sounds very interesting.
