This is similar to Apache Flink where there was a project developed that depends on Flink.
It finally came to Flink as separate contributions and also bring new committers to the community that helps shows growth of the project. If Pregelix could wait lets bring AsterixDB first and see where it could fit later once the git settle in the Apache Git repo. - Henry On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 12:41 AM, Till Westmann <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that there are a few ways to go about this > 1) just import it with everything else > 2) donate it later in an explicit step > 3) incubate it in separate project. > I think that > 1) is not ideal, as Pregelix wasn’t part of the incubation proposal that was > voted on.
