My understanding from discussion with Sam and Ken was that creation of a new
TLP or migrating to an existing one would be an exit, not entry, issue.
That's correct. However, it wouldn't make much sense to let a project enter when there is no notion of where it would exit too.
Section 6 of the http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheDirectoryProject describes a clear "notion of where it would exit too".
I don't believe that it is a reasonable expectation to have the board give prior approval of a new TLP as a prerequisite for entrance into incubation.
I agree with Sam. It makes no sense that a new TLP is created for a project that may even fail incubation.
BTW, we also have AltRMI and FTPServer in Incubation and yet no exit defined.
I have similar reservations about prior approval by target projects as a prerequisite for acceptance by the incubator.
It is not, in fact.
The rule is simple: a PMC has to vote that it wants that project.
The PMC can be the Incubator itself, or another PMC. In the latter case, the Incubator PMC does not need to vote, and operates to help the other PMC in incubation.
In this case, the vote is needed by the Incubator PMC as this project aims to a new PMC.
If we are clarifying rules, we should account for board initiated projects, like Geronimo.
