Hi Ji, first off, I think that it is not a good thing to send such a mail to literally dozens of people. I'd fear that some of them will readily discard it as unwanted.
About your mail: I think the best and easiest way to help the ASF is not wanting to start a new project right away but to contribute to an existing project. You've mentioned e.g. tag libraries. We do have a tag library project; just join the mailing lists (see http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/index.html#GettingInvolved) how to do it and propose your code to the sandbox. As for your Ajax ideas: We do have some Ajax components in projects but I don't think that the ASF has an explicit "AJAX" project (yet). Maybe the taglibs or other server side projects such as MyFaces (JSF) or Tapestry would be the right place to join if you want to work in that field. The incubator is not really about "incubating code", it is more about "incubating communities"; if you don't already have some code and community that should be brought to the ASF or a group of people that want to start a project with clear defined goals inside the ASF, it is not really the best possible place to start from scratch. So I'd really like to encourage you not just wanting to start a new project but to join one of the existing projects. You would be able to have a flying start and build upon what's already there. Best regards Henning (Gee, 24.
