We are using SourceForge for the code. We use the Apache license throughout. 
The project was started in 2009 and was very small initially. More recently we 
have been gaining more momentum and participants. We intend to propose to 
become an Incubator project.

I have looked at the documents and lists and I believe I understand how to 
write the first draft of a Proposal. However, how does one go about recruiting 
a Champion. Does it make sense to draft a proposal and then try to attract a 
Champion to it or is there a better way to proceed?



This email was a good start.

Also, finding an existing Apache member who's either active in your 
community, or is a user of your stuff, would be a good thing to 
investigate. I see from your website that WSO2 is somehow involved. 
There's several ASF members there.


Failing that, tell us why your project is awesome and why we'd want to 
be involved.

If you don't find a more suitable champion, I'd be please to offer my
support.

There is defintively a need for some XACML related project at the ASF.
