It's both actually. The wiki should be drafted and maintained on a
wiki, for purposes of collaboration and transparency, but the actual
proposal should still be submitted to the list, so that there is a
firm reference copy.
I didn't mean to imply that sending the proposal itself should be skipped, although I didn't make
that very clear :)
In the initial discussions (which were almost a year ago), we had
envisioned bringing in only the codebase, maintaining the code with
existing committers, and adding new committes only as they proved
themselves in the usual way. But, a year later, that is sounding less
and less like a good idea, and a conventional incubation is sounding
like a better and better idea.
I doubt that I will have the bandwidth this year to shepard the ADF
donation through a conventional incubation that includes
indoctrinating new committers. As part of drawing up the proposal,
there should also be an effort to attract one or more other ASF
members to this initiative to help with the incubation.
I don't know the complete initial committer list for ADF Faces, but the ones I know, put in a real
effort to do it the Apache way (besides the ADF contribution), so maybe this still can be handled
the way it was initially discussed / proposed.
FYI : Just an observation from the mailinglist traffic / involvement.
