Sounds like the community has spoken and this is a great thing even though I personally perferred to develop it at Directory. Yet I understand that others want to have this distinct and it should be. I'm sure we can leverage whatever DNS libraries are produced by this project to have an LDAP backed store integrated into ApacheDS. Futhermore those involved at Directory can participate in the effort if they would like to so it's a win win situation.

Oops, I saw this message after I pressed the send button. Is there any reason you would avoid the incubation? If there's an explicit reason that the incubator is not preferred, we could start the project at the Lab and decide under which project it should be later.
Well after this discussion I think it might be best under the MINA TLP for now as a sandboxed project until the PMC determines it's ready to be promoted into a sub project. My reasons for recommending this is that most of the people involved in the push are MINA committers if not ASF committers. There is a lower barrier to gain committership anyway for existing ASF committers. The lab is fine as well but I think we can move faster this way with the community. Also those that are not ASF committers can easily be integrated into the community with their contributions. WDYT? Alex
