I (and AFAIK, much of the MyFaces PMC) thought so, too. We only recently heard of this IP-clearance thing, after we went with Tobago through the normal incubation process.
I think that for the codebase coming in, both makes sense and is possible. For making sure that a community is built up, the normal incubation procedure would be better. regards, Martin On 12/29/05, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 12/28/05, Martin Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > On 12/28/05, Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I spoke to Omar yesterday, and he mentioned that the paperwork would > > > go out early next week, and that he would post a snapshot of the > > > donation (e.g. tarball) by then too.
