Is this going to be possible?
You are talking about the Incubator, but referencing the Labs bylaws. Maybe that's what's confusing you. Here's a quick summary what's possible at the ASF: Incubator: Come from the outside with a project (code + community) Labs: Start from scratch (without code nor community) There's a third way: Go to a project which might like your idea and request a sandbox (no code but community). A way of organizing a project having code but without community is left for a (private) exercise. ;-) Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
