Hi Wade,

first of all, don't worry too much at this point, having discussions and trying to grasp the scope and what we get into is very normal at this point.

Do no other Apache projects have plugins or distribution needs?

Other than build servers, what can't be
consolidated? What about monetary donations to projects or specific Apache
line items? Has there been any such talk?

You can donate to the ASF, not a specific project.. unless the project sets something up on its own.

How many other OSS Java IDEs are their? Seem only 2 at the Eclipse and
NetBeans level.

VS Code not? Sorry haven't really looked at it

Having them both exist makes the entire ecosystem healthier
in my opinion.

especially with hte bad mood towards eclipse these days

It would be a shame to not have one of the real open source
Java IDEs exist as an Apache project IMO.

It would be good to find a possible solution on the downloads. I mean (Groovy project) do have most of our downloads outside ASF to save cost (and to handle our somewhat complicated release logic) as well... and of course Netbeans has even more downloads

bye Jochen
