Eh? You ever read the "rules for revolutionaries" page? The basic concept is: don't try to force two communities into one; when separate visions for the project occur, then separate them. I don't see it as our place to *judge* communities. If it is a fork, or a corporate spin-out, or a move, or brand new... All Good. We provide a temporary home in the Incubator to see if it can become a good, proper, and healthy Apache community. We don't turn them away a-priori based on their history. In my mind, the Trac core has slowed, and it needs revitalization and a new vision. Others may disagree, and do, and that's fine. But I don't think it is fine for us to make judgements of communities (or nascent ones!) who want to try something new. To pick up and go in a direction that others are not heading, or do not have the time to make. >... > Most of the concern seems to be that they would like to be able to incorporate whatever work is done in Bloodhound back into Trac but under a BSD license. I'm not sure why they have concerns about incorporating Apache licensed code but simply working something out could be helpful. I suspect hosting this project in git would also help. I responded on trac-dev about the licensing to help answer those questions/concerns. Git won't help since it isn't magic sauce for licensing; it's just a tool. Cheers, -g
