We are ready to pop it in the sandbox. I'll act as moderator for Erics
patches.
I can't find anything about limitations on sandbox projects, are there
any? Compare with Apache Labs that does not allow releases.
I'm cc:ing Apache Legal.
Regarding paper work, we can get a software grant faxed over in no
time. We are the original authors of all this code. Do we both need to
send a grant? The original idea for this library came up working for
TomTom. They have given us their permission to rewrite the project
from scratch, and this we did. Is it nessecary for TomTom to send a
grant too releasing some sort of IP? I really don't think there is an
IP issue here at all, but I am not a laywer.

I moderated this through, so folks will need be to CC'ed when
necessary (such as I've done here).
Three comments:
1) Unless there is anything of private nature here, we discuss
proposals on the publicly archived dev list. So, if and when you feel
like it, it'd be good to move this to the dev list.
2) If there is interest, new libraries can use the Commons Sandbox for
development. However, it is only open to existing ASF committers.
3) If there is existing code, necessary policy procedures (for
example, running a software grant through the Apache Incubator) will
need to be executed.

PMCs,
cqueue is an Open Source, Apache-Licensed Java library for scheduling
commands against one or more thread pools.

Eric Bowman and I created a similar library while working for
TomTom. We are
gratefull they let us develop this idea further and it would be our
pleasure
to see this library as a part of the ASF commons family.
cqueue is java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService on steroids: it's an
easy way
to build a thread pool or pools that take commands from persistent
storage,
and very carefully control the lifetime of those commands. We built
cqueue
to help manipulate some pretty big pools of data, where we needed
to be able
to stop and restart a data processing pipeline without losing any
data. We
also needed to take full advantage of all available CPU cores.
cqueue-bdb is a persistency facade that use BerkeleyDB for storage.
It is a fully functional library ready for a release candidate, but
as all
projects it needs a bit of improvement.
This code has never been in the wild so I believe it does not need
release
papers in order to be committed.
