There was more discussion on IRC today about becoming an ASF incubator  
project.

In a nutshell, Owen brought up the topic of creating an LLC for  
Habari, so that we don't have people paying for things anymore, which  
is A GOOD THING (tm), which prompted the question from the peanut  
gallery, if we would be better served to apply to the ASF to become a  
project.

The advantages of this are many and varied, but in light of our  
current discussions we would be provided with all of the hosting, bug  
tracking, source control, etc services we need maintained by very  
smart people, who are not the Habari PMC... mostly (Full disclosure I  
am part of the ASF infrastructure team).

Also, we would have access to a well established legal entity with a  
wealth of experience in navigating the waters of licenses,  
conferences, etc. I know we are also talking about putting together a  
small habari conference thingy, and being part of the ASF would help  
this as well since we would have access to people who have been doing  
this very thing for 10 years or more.

I would like to gauge the feeling/interest of the community on this  
topic now that we have a bit more growth under our belt.

Anyone like to comment?
