IMHO the incubator is having some political difficulties at the moment and (from my experience of projects being incubated) it doesn't really help with gathering more developers.

having read the thread so far, here's my feelings:

1. i feel strongly that JCS should not continue as a turbine sub-project.

2. i think that JCS could reasonably aspire to be a sub-project of either db or jakarta.

3. i think that the route for JCS to become a jakarta sub-project should be through the commons (in order to develop the strength required for a separate sub-project).

(i'm a little inclined towards db but) i'd support a proposal from the JCS team for a future in either db or jakarta (along the lines outlined above). guys - have you come to any opinions about what's the best option yet?

I was thinking about the incubator, too. But as projects failing to leave the incubator might drop off-ASF completely, we would put JCS (which is already ASF code) to the risk of being dropped out of ASF. That's why I suggested jakarta-commons.

(First rule of software acquisition: Once you have the code, never
give it back. ;-) )
