Wave is currently in the Apache Incubator, which has expectations of how a 
project matures. Wave, being a small project, over its seven years of 
incubation, is not showing signs of reaching graduation. Thus, it seems time we 
accept that the Incubator is not the place for this project.

Retirement need not halt development - it simply means that Apache is not the 
venue, and the project is relieved of the constraints and demands that Apache 
places upon it. Once retired, anyone can push the project code, for example, to 
GitHub. All that is required is that the terms of the Apache License continue 
to be honoured.

If the vote is to retire, then before actioning the retirement, we can have a 
discussion on this list to see if we can reach a consensus as to where the code 
might move to, or to see if there is a volunteer who is willing to carry out 
the migration work.

This vote is really aimed at members of the Wave PPMC, however general votes 
are welcomed.

[ ] +1 Retire Wave
[ ] 0 Abstain
[ ] -1 Keep Wave in the Apache Incubator
