Just so I understand, what would be the criteria for the project rejoining the Apache Incubator in the future?
For instance, we have had several people (myself included) comment that they would become more frequent contributors to the project once the server and client were sufficiently decoupled that a JavaScript client could be worked on separately from the Java GWT client. Should that happen, and regular work on the project continue, could the project easily rejoin, or would there be a higher barrier to reentry? And on another note, if the project is retired, what happens to the documentation and mailing list archives from Apache, and would anything be done to help migrate that elsewhere? (On a related note, do we still have access to waveprotocol.org and the related mailing list? That would seem to be the logical place to migrate to.)
