Do you have existing code? Any outside code that comes into Apache should go through the "incubator" to make sure there aren't any problems with IP. Otherwise, if you're a committer already, then you can just start a "sandbox" project. If you're not a committer, then it gets a bit more difficult. It might be better to start your project elsewhere (sourceforge, javaforge, java.net) and then "give" it to ASF through the incubator. In order for you to work on the project here at ASF, you have to be given committer rights and before you can be given committer rights you typically have to submit patches and participate in an existing project. I'm not at all the ASF guru, so if I have misspoke, someone correct me please.
