>From the PPMC side, once you submit the grant you represent that you are allowed to donate the code, so the PPMC will not usually make any inquiries to check that it's the case, unless there are reasons to believe that some parts should not have been donated. The code that you donate doesn't have to be ready to release from an ASF point of view - headers can be fixed once in the Flex svn for example, and dependencies will have to be checked before making a release. OpenOffice, for example, had lots of non-compliant dependencies when it was donated, that's been fixed in the Apache svn before making the first release. So I'd say if you are ready to sign the grant, just go ahead. It's best IMO to use a JIRA issue to track the donation (including digests of the donated code archives), so that we have a trace of what happened and how the PPMC handled it. -Bertrand
