Hi all, Just an update. It seems the deadline for the organizations to apply was Feb 3rd. It is not clear to me whether we can or cannot add projects after that. In any case, I have created three jira issues: - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAYANG-53
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAYANG-54 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAYANG-55 Feel free to edit them or create new ones. The results will be taken on February 18th so maybe we can add/edit until then.
