I don't know enough about the project to comment on that. Just to say, if it's to become an Apache project, I'd expect to see its community approach our community. One project individual approaching one ASF individual is hopefully a one-off, 'cos it's not how projects work at Apache. Though I expect Stephen is evaluating an option, which is just fine. > We are looking for a more stable institutional home for Graphviz. Apache > seems like > a great match. Is this possible?

What discussions have you had within your project community? Probably the single most important criterion for you is to have your own community firmly on board, and not dragging anyone reluctantly along. Once you have that, you find someone to champion your project within Apache, and submit a proposal. Romain wrote: > Also it will let Graphviz time to handle the license switch. That's the kind of issue that could be quite big. If it has a long history under another license, you may have lots of contributors with a stake in it who would have to agree to the re-licensing. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
