I thought the established process was to use the incubator, promoting toJakarta when community strength and diversity was clear. This is what recently happened with Derby to DB, for example.That's for projects external to Apache. Are we saying that if 1, 2 or 3 ASF committers have an idea, they should either develop it externally or work through the incubator before creating it?
Well, AFAIU the incubator is also about establishing a community not only about legal safety - so that would apply here as well. ...but the whole progress might be a bit too much for a little library project. That's why the commons sandbox still makes sense. It's about smaller components NOT on the project level. But maybe it would be worth discussing the whole internally sponsored projects idea over at incubator. WDTY? cheers -- Torsten
