Your biggest hurdles before the graduation typically(*) have nothing to
do with what technology gets developed in the the project. What
you need to demonstrate to ASF is three things:
1. That you can succesfully develop your project within the ASF
infrastructure.
2. That you can produce releases in a responsible fashion and in
accordance with strict ASF IP management rules:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
3. That you can demonstrate being able to self-govern and grow
the community as per "Apache Way" governance model:
http://theapacheway.com/
Thus, from where I stand, your 3 biggest issues are along the lines of:
1. Complete migration to ASF infrastructure.
2. Produce first ASF release within XXX month.
3. Develop How To Contribute guides for new contributors
and existing committers.
Thanks,
Roman.
(*) I say typically because in a small # of cases, technology issues may
prevent your from releasing. E.g. having a GPL dependency that you
would have to get rid of by refactoring your project in a certain way.
