It might be worth looking at what Lucene does vis-a-vis language ports: It looks like the ports (to Python, .NET, C, etc.) are separate projects, but the main lucene.apache.org page provides convenient links to each of them. <http://lucene.apache.org/> I don't see any reason something similar couldn't happen with Wave... take the C# Server that was being discussed, for example... it could enter the Incubator as a project in it's own right, with the two projects providing mutual links to each other, and with a "gentleman's agreement" between the developers to consult as necessary to deal with protocol compatibility, etc. Just a thought...
