Hi all.

I thought this had been made clear. Several months Commons voted to
make Math a TLP. But shortly after that most of the people involved
with Commons Math felt that a TLP at the ASF would not work for them,
so they forked the project and left, effectively voiding the TLP vote
since the proposed PMC is no longer valid. There is one person left
who was very involved in Commons Math and a few other people who have
expressed interest in joining the new community.
So this is a situation where we have an already existing code base
where a lot of the people left are not familiar with quite a bit of
it. The new group of people who are interested are trying to
determine how they should move forward. There is some talk of
breaking
Commons Math into smaller components and possibly dropping some where
there is no one to maintain it.
The "Commons" project not being interested in hosting those components,
is the "incubator" a good place for the developers wishing to go in
that
direction?
What's the next step?

If you have a functioning community around Commons Math already, why
do you
feel you need Incubation?
People on a Math TLP would come out of the Commons PMC and simply
submit a
Board Resolution, and I doubt that there would be any objects. There
are no
legal concerns, no community training, no need for release
management
training, and so on...
Or are you looking at a situation where the Commons community has no
interest in Math subproject, and need new blood?
Cheers

We (the Commons PMC) have not decided yet what to do, but I just
wanted to
gauge the interest in joining the math IPMC if we choose to go TLP
by way
of the incubator. The idea would be that math (whatever its name
may be),
would go through the incubator in order to enrich its community
prior to
becoming a TLP. Do we have any folks willing to throw their hat in
the
ring?
p.s. I've cross-posted to the incubator list as there are folks
there who
are very good at this stuff and could perhaps lend us some advice.
