Marko, I note that you currently do not have a champion and that you have listed IBM as the sponsor, with two individuals names who (to the best of my knowledge) are not ASF committers. I suggest these are the first things you need to address in your proposal. Find a champion who can help you understand what the Apache Way is and why IBM is not a sponsor (Sam is certainly an excellent candidate to help you with that if he is willing).
To your specific points below, since Sam has already responded to your points, I'll keep my response short. Moving your primary project resources to the ASF is not a negotiable item. There are many reasons for this. Your champion is responsible for ensuring you understand the reasoning behind this. When a project comes to the ASF it comes for the Apache Way. That means projects that choose to come here need to adopt the Apache Way in its entirety, not "just enough" to be an Apache project. That being said, there are very few immutable rules in the Apache Way, much of it is social structure an practices. But there are a few things that are designed to protect that social structure, this a non-negotiable (at least outside of the ASF membership who, over time, tweak the rules).

In particular, our GitHub presence and our public user-mailing list (i.e. tech support mailing list). I have articulated our concerns in the freshly updated proposal. https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/TinkerPopProposal Please see "W. Mailing Lists", "Y. Git Repository", and "X. Subversion Directory". Sam Ruby had stated that using GitHub for source control is an accepted practice now. We can (though would prefer not to) move our issue tracking to JIRA. Again, we have all been using GitHub issue tracking for 5 years and are comfortable with its interface. Likewise, we can (though would prefer not to), move our user mailing list to Apache's mail list system. If a distinction is made between "user mailing list" (tech support) and "contributor mailing list" (governance), we can (and would prefer) to move over our "TinkerPop Contributors" mailing list to ASF as this is where all the legal/political/governance discussion occur and should be under the purview of ASF. Thoughts?, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com On Dec 17, 2014, at 7:42 PM, Jake Farrell <jfarr...@apache.org> wrote: > Hey Marko > Thank you for posting the proposal to the wiki.
