Hi Lewis, It's my view that Any23's eventual graduation into a subproject of Tika, or its own TLP can likely be worked out later, depending on what the community wants, and what those who are doing the work decide.
The ASF board discourages sub projects (as they create umbrella TLPs e.g., in the case of Lucene and Hadoop a while ago). So, one thought would be that the shared set of committers from Any23 and PMC members be made Tika PMC members with full access to the Tika source code, but that would require support from the Tika PMC and a VOTE, and also support on the Any23 side. If Any23 decides to graduate into an ASF TLP, but maintain an association with Tika via links, and shared plugins and code, that would work fine too. So long as there are modules (and JAR files) to consume and share, all the projects will be fine, including Nutch. Thanks!
