Lars, we are splitting the project to be housed as sub-projects of

I'm confused. Can an incubating project run outside the control of
the incubator PMC?
This is a good question and I think that you may not know that there
are several paths that startup projects can go.
- a project can start in the Incubator with the goal of being its own
Top Level Project (TLP)
- a project can start as a sub-project of an existing TLP
Governance of an incubator project is under its pre-PMC with ultimate
responsibility going to the incubator PMC. Governance of the TLP sub-
project is under the TLP PMC.
The proposed split-up of Yoko is the realization that while it is
important, actually critical, to many of Apache's projects, it is not
likely to generate an active diverse community. Note, moving to
Geronimo does not preclude Yoko from breaking out into its own TLP
should an active diverse community come into being.
