Petri is intended to help existing open source project communities decide
within their community if the Apache Way and the ASF is right for their
community. The community can choose to do this publicly or privately. There are
three possible results: become a TLP, incubate, or something else. It is not
designed to replace the Incubator.

We are all volunteers and need to make our own choices.

I think that all of us bring some biases from our experience. Perhaps the
Incubator should discuss the proposal process and score which aspects of the
Apache Way are in good shape vs which are more of a concern.
Some areas;
- Few active developers.
- Single company development.
- Licensing issues in the code base
- Licensing issues with dependencies
