+ <b>Say, why isn't there an ApacheForge?</b>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the time being, there are incubators enough. Though, if someone has the
itch
+ for an incubator project to host products with licenses compatible with Apache,
the
+ appropriate party to contact with a proposal for such a thing would the
+ <a href="http://apache.org/foundation/";>Apache Software Foundation</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Many
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=296";>
+ SourceForge projects
+ </a>
+ do use the
+ <a href="http://apache.org/LICENSE";>
+ Apache License
+ </a>
+ , and we hope this segment will continue to grow.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If an open source product you use is not distributed under an ASL-compatible
license,
+ please take the initiative and lobby the developers of that product to
reconsider.
+ <hint>Of course, any development teams would more amenable to such a
suggestion
+ when it comes from active contributors to the product or its technical support
list.</hint>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It is important to note that the Apache Software Foundation is committed to
supporting
+ products "characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development
process, an
+ open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality
software that
+ leads the way in its field."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <b>community</b> factor is an essential component of the ASF's mission, and
would
+ difficult to monitor in a free-for-all incubator environment. We do not
necessarily
+ believe that more is better, and would not be eager to sacrifice the importance
of
+ community simply to gain "license-share". The horse must come before the cart.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Of course, if someone were able to marshal the physical resources, the Apache
community
+ would undoubtedly welcome an open source incubator that promoted ASL-compatible
licenses.

<h3>Purpose of this document</h3>
</a>
<p>
It all began in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
</p>
<p>
At the request of an "Apache Manual", where the Apache process is
documented, <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>Jon Scott Stevens</a>
writes:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Because it would take a HUGE amount of effort to create and maintain a
manual like that. The people who know the manual don't have the itch to
create the manual because there is always people who are coming along who
have enough of a clue and drive to figure out the manual on their own. Nice
catch-22.
</p>
<p>
That said, I will do my best to support someone who wants to create a manual
like that. If you hang around here and watch what happens and how people do
things and start to document it. Then I promise to review it and comment on
it.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>Paul Hammant</a> showed his good
disposition for writing such an Apache Manual, where the process and
methodology is documented as an outstanding example of a successful
open-source process.
</p>
<p>
At this point, the page is just a table of contents and some links,
reflecting the contributions of both Jon and <a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>Marc Saegesser</a>. It should
be updated to encompass all interesting aspects of the Apache (and more
specifically Jakarta) way.
