Bottom line -- we've discussed a lot already and we'll be discussing a lot more during incubation. The NetBeans community is large and diverse. Some might have less of an understanding of this process and its consequences than others. That is not a problem because any services and any assumptions that Apache is unable to meet can be carried by one or more organizations -- after due discussion and legal handling etc with Apache -- from which one or more individual contributors will come into Apache NetBeans. There is a lot at stake on both ends, I think -- i.e., at the end of this process Apache gets the NetBeans codebase, domains, trademarks, and everything else. On the other end, NetBeans gets the home its always wanted. It's a completely equal match and will work out for everyone to the benefit of all. There are several precarious sliding pieces though the end goal will unite everything.
