I've been a bit hung up on the idea that since Derby has done several "official releases" from within the Incubator (e.g., Version 10.0.2.1 at http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html#Official+Releases ), Beehive should be able to do the same thing. I think a lot of us have been

It seems like adding "Incubating" to the name of the release would prevent this from smelling like official ASF code, or even from smelling like fully-baked code. I think we're all for that -- our main goal is to fulfill the requirements for exiting the Incubator, not to languish there doing n

IMO its a great idea (assuming nothing like that exists) but how can ASF help you given that the incubator is meant to bring in existing projects with working code rather than ideas? Sanjiva. On Tue, 2005-06-07 at 18:35 -0400, James Carman wrote: > All, > > > > I would like to start a biologi
