If this was a project proposal, I'd have no issue with you starting
a sandbox project and allow it to develop out in the open.
However, based on your discussion it appears to be pretty far along
and it looks like it should be at least reviewed by the Incubator
PMC before going into Logging Services. I'd suggest putting it in
Apache Labs. If it gains traction in the Labs, then we can migrate
it over to LS with appropriate Incubator PMC oversight.
"Far along" is probably a stretch... :) the basic project structure
is there, and the ability to perform extremely basic operations as
proof of concept. It's no where near ready for production usage as yet.
What I could is put a tar ball of the project available for review,
and then people can comment on what we should do with it:
http://people.apache.org/~psmith/pinpoint.1.0.0.5.tar.gz
I'll check up on the Apache Labs process in the mean time just so I
know what might be coming.
cheers,
