It might be my fault for misrepresenting "The Commons-RDF community" - personally I am fairly fresh to the Apache (Oct 2014). The other, core committers involved in Commons-RDF are seasoned Apache folks. I've just tried to be a mediator.. My fault.
I think the community around commons-rdf is already strong and diverse - if small. How to smoothly transition that community into dev@commons is the challenge. themselves with dev@commons. I don't think the existing dev@commons community would have any problem with the RDF activity - several have welcomed it and shown interest in helping out. But what about the other way around? It is the existing (partially non-Apache) community that we need feedback from to shape the API - but which several are worried would be scared about being thrown right into dev@commons, which I hope you can see is a different, bigger community than that of a "regular" TLP - given the small size of the project. I don't believe the "core committers" would have any problems with dev@commons - the problem is the bigger community (the users@rdf in a way) which we need to help shape what the API should and shouldn't do.
