Hi Karl, Glad you consider OPS4J as a possible project home. Traditionally you start with an Account (Jira/Confluence on team.ops4j.org) and start hacking in your so called laboratory (an open to anyone yet open to anyone without telling or asking) SVN folder at scm.ops4j.org. After some time you head over to the Mailinglist and start explaining your project, start (if you have not already) documenting on the wiki and make move the codebase to "/projects" on OPS4J, at that point it would be an official OPS4J project. Now stop if you already head over. This was until 2010. Free open source repositories are a commodity now. So there's Github/Bitbucket/Googlecode and others providing all you need for running a project (issue tracker, wiki, SCM etc.)
Well, in that time OPS4J has changed as well. We moved the entire codebase (project status) to Github. (I am sure you know, its http://github.org/ops4j). What you get from OPS4J today is a project home with probably better visibility than fighting alone (using OPS4J name), an existing direct pipeline for Maven Central Distribution, a friendly community of contributors consisting of apache committers, Qi4J leaders, NoSQL professionals amongst others and of cause infrastructure like Atlassian Studio & Hudson CI. Guess i don't need to sell it here, its just to explain the change OPS4J did with the rise of Github and others. (SCM => Commodity). So today its best to write about your project, what it is about, what the contributors are, potential audience, technical background, motivation, whatever. Remember, its not a test to evaluate IF you can join OPS4J, its about getting to know the project at all. After that we think about the naming (possibly a new member of "Pax" ?) and there we are: push to github.org/ops4j, create Jira Project and Confluence Site, done. There you are. btw..
