Apache Projects all produce software free to the public. Nothing more. Coming into the Incubator means operating under the Incubator PMC with an existing *software* project that can stand on its feet better as part of Apache Community. I think it is appropriate to find the simplest thing that can possibly work. I recommend following Raphael's recommendation. If at least that can work, then one has a foundation for something. > > Please note: This is not a concrete plan, but I would like a response if > this way is completely excluded. > > > Jörg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
