Hi Julian, Good point. To clarify. I was only going to copy the copyright into the root NOTICE file, and leave the files completely untouched. So, they wouldn’t have the Apache header in the source files. Only our files would have the new Apache Copyright template.
Also, I think if it makes sense to the Quickstep mentors, and such a thing doesn’t exist, I’m happy to put together a document on what common tasks/problems that incubator community members face, and how to proactively pre-empt them. That may reduce the workload on the incubator mentors in the future. I do have a working scratch pad where I have been noting things and can clean them up in a few weeks when I think it will be clear that we have gotten past at least the first set of methods for doing things the ASF way. It will be a sequential checklist, so hopefully easy to follow, and hard to mess up.
