1. In the proposal,
"The coders on the existing ODF Toolkit will comprise the initial committers on
the Apache project. These committers have varying degrees of experience with
Apache-style open source development, ranging from none to being committers on
other Apache projects."
That strikes me as inadequately expansive/inclusive. It makes me wonder, why
doesn't the project simply stay where it is? You appear to have a definite
roadmap for how you want to see this project proceed.
2. Also, the current code carries template Apache ALv2 notices with copyright
statements such as
/************************************************************************
*
* DO NOT ALTER OR REMOVE COPYRIGHT NOTICES OR THIS FILE HEADER
*
* Copyright 2008, 2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
* Copyright 2009, 2010 IBM. All rights reserved.
* [... usual ALv2 template text ...]
*/
Is it intended that there be an SGA or will this code simply be adapted as
licensed? [I am curious because I have been restructuring some projects of
mine along these lines and I'd like to see how that works.]
3. In the code base, there appear to be other committers (e.g., Devin and
Michel). Is there some reason they are not among the initial committers? Are
the listed Initial Committers the only current committers on the ODF Toolkit
projects?
4. Can we know the contact e-mail and current iCLA status of the initial
committers?

I would like to help as well. Are people allowed to add their names to the
proposal?
