I'm a PMC member for Apache CouchDB, a top-level project. My positive experience with CouchDB is the primary reason I am considering doing this project with the ASF. I think a focus on community is of paramount importance, and something that the ASF offers above and beyond other potential parent organisations. > Now, if your team includes a few people with a good track record in > open source projects, starting without code might work. I'm also a Debian maintainer: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=nslater%40bytesexual.org http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=nslater%40tumbolia.org Our other committers have been similarly involved in open source projects. > I haven't looked up our docs about this, just trying to apply common sense.
