There is some confusion here, I'll try to be clear. First of all, we are in the process of deciding and clearly documenting that only TLPs are to be incubated. Why? Because in Apache there are only TLPs. Thus, Ruper is incubated on the premises that it wants to become a TLP for artifact handlin

I also don't think it's really that much work on the behalf of a project trying to enter Apache to do a little leg work in resolving that before entering. I didn't say they shouldn't try -- I said it wasn't necessary. As far as I am concerned, no existing project should be allowed to create autono

There is no reason for a project to have a final destination until it has to go somewhere other than incubator, at which point it can decide whether it wants to be a TLP (calling for a board vote) or part of an existing project (calling for that project's pmc to vote). Maybe we should have a six mo

Jason, The short answer is that knowledge of the final destination is not a pre-requisite for entrance into the Incubator. The minimum requirement for entrance is sponsorship by a Member or Officer, and acceptance by the Incubator PMC. I've no particular care about where AltRMI or FtpServer end

Hi, I was just looking at the project page and how is it possible that the incubator PMC can sponsor code coming into Apache. There are five projects listed there: AltRMI FtpServer Directory Ruper Geronimo So what is the deal with these projects? They are destined to become top-level projects? E
