Take a look here: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mrunit.html I created the above project page, at this point the committers on the project should take over updating it: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#Initialize+Podling+Status+Page http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html#Edit+your+project+status+report FF to ping me or the other mentors if you have questions on this. Definitely review the incubator releases page: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html > >> 0.8.0: >> * Move open mrunit issues from Hadoop MAPREDUCE JIRA and complete these >> for release. >> 1.0.0: >> * ...? >> >> Ultimately, I think we'll need at least one if not two "run up" releases to >> 1.0.0 on our own to ensure we're healthy.

Ideally we'd onboard some committers too. IIRC there is already > some good committer diversity from different companies, yes? Another good reason to create the project web site - typically you'll have a "contributors" or "who we are" type page: http://httpd.apache.org/contributors/ http://hadoop.apache.org/who.html The "how to contribute" page I mentioned earlier really helps with onboarding new contribs/committers. I'd encourage you to create some JIRAs for all these action items. That way individuals can sign up for various components and start ticking things off. Here's an example from ZK going TLP: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-940 Patrick
