An alternative to #4 is to go through the Incubator, which might be good to get other Foundation members on the PMC that are outside of Apache Hadoop and that themselves have experience in other communities, and to see how those Foundation members may help the new Hadoop projects learn about the way other communities at the Foundation work. This quite possibly could be great cross fertilization and tutelage that the new (eventual) TLPs could benefit from. Post facto this alternative #4, we jump to #6, except instead of TLPs, the new projects operate as Apache Incubator podlings, use the Incubator for its mentorship, metrics on healthy projects, etc. This would also be a good way to go. > > 5. infrastructure set up. > > 6.

Graduate to TLP from Incubator via board resolution.
