Hi Laurent, I don't want to write off the possibility of a Jakarta variant of Tiles joining the Apache Incubator - but the fact that Apache Tiles doesn't have an active community around it is going to be a major impediment. For Apache projects and podlings to succeed, they need a number of contributors to get involved. Could you start by putting your code up on Github or somewhere similar and adding documentation that highlights that you are looking for collaborators? Maybe there are some forums where some remaining users of Tiles can be contacted?
There is no impediment to you simply releasing your Jakarta variant of Tiles yourself or via some organisation that you are involved with (e.g. a company that you work with). If you go this route, the ASF would look like to see that you remove all the ASF branding and ideally, change the package names. If you want to avoid having to do all the branding changes and see the new project join/rejoin the ASF, then I think that you'll need to come back to us with more collaborators and probably some indication that they are bought into keeping the project going over the foreseeable future.
