Thank you for your interest, Dan! Your long experience with Derby and ASF, not to mention the very relevant Quarks incubator proposal. would be very welcome by the Taverna incubator!
I believe that as an ASF Member you just need to self-nominate to become a member of the Incubator PMC, and thus can become a mentor. The IPMC folks can help you with the karma granting so you can join the incubator SVN group - after which you can add yourself to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/projects/taverna.xml IPMC folks - is this roughly right?
