Actually theres no community requirement to *enter* the incubator - just to exit it. Thats one of the main purposes of incubation - creating a community. The real requirment is gathering mentors and pursuading the incubator folks (or other sponsoring PMC) that its a good idea. > As an alternative to apache labs, the apache.commons sandbox seems to be the > best place to create such a component, and to get feedback from the wide and > talentuous apache developers community. > > What is the "apache.commons" way for such contribution request ? We have a policy that any ASF committer can start something in our Sandbox. Usually though this is people starting out from scratch, not importing an existing code base from outside the ASF (and Apache Labs is similar). For importing an existing code base then at a minimum we would probably need to at least use the Incubator IP Clearance check list (the Mantissa contribution to Commons Math did this a while back, so the archives may give you some pointers). http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html So I think its really down to you on the route you want to take - whether here or elsewhere Niall > Nico. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
