Hi Radek, I can see how passionate you are about getting this project into the ASF, which is great to see. However, I reviewed the contributors list [1], and it currently has just two contributors, with one doing the majority of the work.
Given this, I believe it might be difficult to pass the voting stage for acceptance into the incubator. At a minimum, you’d need at least three contributors who could join the PPMC and take responsibility for driving the project. The Incubator’s purpose is to provide guidance to projects and communities, not to take on the responsibility of building or managing them. I’d recommend focusing on forming a basic community around the project first. Bringing in a few more contributors who are involved and invested in its success would significantly improve your chances of acceptance. Once that’s in place, it’d be a good time to revisit the process.
