Hi,

Sounds like a good proposal.

I can see it was opened source back in March but you haven’t seemed to have 
made any releases or added any new committers since then. An I correct in that 
assumption? Is the any reason for that? I note in the proposal that you have 
people from other organisations that you say are already collaborating with you 
on Github, but I cannot see much if any activity from them. The core repo has 5 
main committers (and two others). The other repos are similar. As you note not 
all contribution are code, so I may be missing something. Can you explain how 
the initial committers were chosen and provide a bit more detail on their 
relationship to the project?

You mention the use of Slack, weekly catch up and open community meetings. How 
is the information discussed there passed on to other community members who are 
not on slack or not able to attend those meetings? Are any decisions made at 
those meetings or on Slack?

The length of time to incubate seems a little on the short side, especially for 
a project that doesn’t seem to have a large community around it and most of the 
core set of developers working for a single company. I’d be happy to be proven 
wrong about that, but if the project ended up in incubation for longer would 
this be an issue?. Projects typically spend 1 to 1 1/2 years in the incubator, 
some take less time some take more, some a lot more.

There’s at least one section missing from your proposal [1], the information on 
the project name is important, can you answer that? Infra in particular is 
concerned about the amount of effort a name change takes.

Your mentors need to be IPMC members [2][3] but as Dave notes, being ASF 
members they can ask to join the IPMC.

Thanks,
Justin
