But for building a community and knowing how to succeed with an open source project, Apache is almost unrivaled. The community is absolutely critical to the future development of Wave. It's been fantastic to see the recent surge in interest around WIAB but I do believe that the project will benefit significantly from being under Apache's wing while we work towards a truly flexible, useable, and stable product. I'm sure we'll be able to negotiate things like use of our own product for collaboration among our community as we bake in the incubator. I'm confident that the Apache folks are reasonable people who are on our side. A. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group.
