Atri, It looks like community building is going slowly with Concerted. This is understandable as a part-time activity.
Would it be simpler and better for the project to build a community outside Apache and bring the project back for incubation once you have done so? That would allow you considerable freedom from restrictions that an incubating project cannot have. That freedom might make it easier to bring people in. A number of Apache projects have started outside, built momentum and then become Apache (see Storm or even, in some sense, httpd as examples). Very few have started inside and built from zero (Apache Drill is the only one I know of personally). What do you think?
