Hi Dheeban, tl;dr;: You've kind of stumbled into an early procedural process for adding new ASF projects, but your interest is very much appreciated.
That's great that you want to get involved! One of the important things new/potential Apache projects need to do is develop a community. Your interest is a good sign. At this point the project is an a proposal phase. If the proposal discussion is positive (meaning most IPMC members appear to support incubating the project), it will move on to a vote. If the vote passes, the project will be bootstrapped: code imported, mailing lists and bug tracker created, website domain registered, etc. Admittedly, our documentation can be bit hard to navigate, but I assume that you're aware of the ASF Incubator website [1] since you are subscribed to this list. Perusing that site will give you more insight into what the Incubator is about and how the ASF works. -Taylor [1] http://incubator.apache.org/ > On May 11, 2017, at 4:43 PM, Dheeban Govindarajan <sgdhee...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Team, > > I am newbie in the open-source contribution world.
