There's absolutely no problem with that except the name, and as we're seeing it's probably an easier way to continue with a smaller team. What would be bad is forking an existing community, but this community as almost non-existent now. The name issue is that the ESME trademark belongs to the Apache Software Foundation, so the forked project needs to use a different name. One such example is http://ibatis.apache.org/ which changed its name to MyBatis when it left the foundation. -Bertrand
