Hi, If you are serious about this then there is a couple of things I would do to make Jakarta peeps take note.
* change the license to Apache-like or lighter (ie BSDL) * change the way you run the project to be in the Apache "tradition" (ie meritocracy and our decision making process) * start talking with Apache projects that you are likely to collaborate with (cocoon and Jelly jump to mind). * make sure the developer community is obvious (couldn't see anything off your website) As to the code - it looks really good and the documentation is great aswell. However Apache largely considers quality a side-effect of a good community so it is not sufficient to just be good code. Anyways I would definetly talk to some cocoon people as they will hopefully be interested - they have what is a very similar framework except that it is broader reaching, centrally controlled and pull based where yours seems simpler and more focused. You may be able to collaborate with them on implementation of stages. Anyways the best way to become a part of the community is to reach out and start talking with people who are in similar areas and you can collaborate with. Hopefully someone will step up to be a "sponsor" and after you have done that drop by incubator.apache.org lists and make the proposals.
