It's understandable to confuse the Eclipse Foundation with its early legacy. But, to be fair, that's really outdated knowledge. The Eclipse Java IDE was the first project to be launched by the Eclipse Foundation and follow the Eclipse Process Framework. But there are literally hundreds of other project that span languages. Now, the Eclipse Foundation has gotten into the specification game, bringing with them their reputation, experience with Open Source, and rapport with developers. That makes them a very good fit for what it is that we're trying to do here. In particular, they endorse a code-driven process, which will help us ensure we get more than just a document out of this, but something that can be used in the real world.
