I'm very new in this type of thing. I have zero experience with ASF,
etc, so if this is out of line, please forgive and I'll keep silent.
I've seen a lot of discussion about the HOW in terms of moving NetBeans
to the Apache project, but not much/any discussion about WHY. I'm not a
NetBeans coder/contributor, but simply someone who uses it 8+ hours per
day in my normal job.
My main question is: will moving NetBeans to Apache result in a better
product for people like me? If so, what particular aspects of moving
will make that happen? Are there other projects that have made a similar
move and experienced higher quality as a result?

At this point I ask anyone with concerns or questions that haven't
been addressed so far and would prevent us from voting on this
proposal to chime in.
Based on the discussions in this thread we have added Mark Struberg
and Jim Jagielski to the proposal as mentors. Daniel Gruno mentioned
the need for someone from ASF infra as a mentor, if needed it's easy
to add a mentor later, or Daniel just confirm if you want to join.
Emmanuel Lécharny was unsure and hasn't confirmed AFAICS, he can also
be removed from the list later on easily if he wants to leave, that's
no big deal.
I have changed the SIR03 special infrastructure requirement (migration
of plugins.netbeans.org) to exclude it from the incubation process as
discussed here - we have envisioned possible solutions and realized
that incubating NetBeans is not necessarily dependent on that, and I
think the project can address this in due time.
Are there other things to discuss that might affect our vote on
accepting NetBeans?
I'm planning to start the vote in about 24 hours unless things still
need to be discussed.
