How (or for how long) is this a choice? If WAIB does not show improvement in the amount of activity, a mentor will be asking same question again...whether Wave is a suitable project for the incubator. The discussion started because Christian raised this question in the first place. Based on past few months statistics, any significant improvement in activity will be a dramatic outcome and seems unlikely at this point.
On the other hand, I think Wave will survive even through long periods of inactivity as long as intellectual property stays openly accessible under permissible enough open source license. Moving away from Apache may actually breath some new direction. Unless we can guarantee significant activity improvemnent, we are just postponing the issue until next month. Considering the questions of trademarks, I think it's going to be easy if whoever wants to implement new ideas makes a fork and takes it further. Or uses the ideas and completely redesign everything like Joseph is planning . In any case I think github can generate more activity, even if not as WAIB. What happens to trademarks of abandoned Incubator projects?
