Honestly, the "limitations" that you mention aren't exactly earth shattering. As has been mentioned before there are ways to use hg and git with svn as the storage backend. The mailing list discussion point issue really isn't one until our "dog food" instance has the following: Delta persistance Group support > Also, there's no need for hurry.

Development wise we are making huge strides, however we need to ensure that the community will survive past the first rush of enthusiasm. Apache has a great deal of experience in this area and we'd be silly not to take advantage of it. > Why spend a lot of > time on moving to Apache infrastructure right now? If not now, later.

See above for why the dog food instance just isn't ready. Once it is, I don't see why we can't turn around to apache and say "here's a new way of collaborating that's better than mailing lists". > Why move to > svn instead of mercurial? It's what apache uses, as mentioned previously there are ways to use hg and other scm systems with svn as the storage backend. > Why Apache? is it the only alternative? > The only other alternative is to create our own wave foundation. This would require a hell of a lot more work to setup and would require legal and financial commitments from community members. > Maybe Wave doesn't need the "Apache" prefix? If it's going to be an Apache project then naturally it's going to carry the Apache prefix. This will not stop anyone else from building services on top of it, forking the project and renaming it and so on. > How about the Wiab > potential users?
