I've read trough the charter and will post a formal proposal as soon as I get the time to write it down ;)
In the meantime, is there anyway I could upload the code (its around 60k, zipped), in a quest for initial committers to include on the proposal? As regards incubation: - The code have never been released, whether on its own or inside a larger application/library - I'm the sole copyright owner of the code - I am (of course) willing to donate it to ASF Does this imply it needs to be incubated?
