The in depth "incubator required stuff" is at https://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html for review
Basically, - We have this conversation. Ensure that there's consensus on the future of the project. - Call a vote. When we call a vote, one of us will send notice to incubator. - Vote again on general@incubator. I do want to make sure there are two things abundantly clear: - Retirement isn't failure. Wave didn't fail as a project. - It's better to describe it as "this isn't a good fit as an Apache project." Apache projects tend to have at least three people available at all times, either making changes, merging in changes, or able to cut releases.
