Hi I am currently working on a software project at the Royal Bank of Scotland, where we want to spin-out a code base and share it between a group of parties (or make it totally open source). The Apache Software Foundation is a really interesting initiative that I'm keen to explore further as a platform for us to achieve this. I have been working through the information you have online, but have a couple more points that I'm hoping you can help with:
1) To what extent does the code base have to be visible to those outside of the Project Group? 2) What involvement do contributing parties have in approving new additions/changes to the code base alongside/within the PMC? 3) What is the likely success rate of a new Project proposal into your incubator?
