  You may want to update the Confluence and Jira spaces to ONAMI as well.
 
  I think Confluence is getting out of commission soon, CMS may be the better
  option?!

 = Onami =
 == Abstract ==
 The following proposal is about Onami, a project focused on all
 aspects of Google Guice[1] extensions.
 The name takes inspiration from Great Waves (O-nami, in Japanese) Zen 
 Story[2].
 
 == Proposal ==
 Apache Onami aims to create a community focused on the development and
 maintenance of a set of Google Guice extensions not provided out of
 the box by the library itself nor the Google developers team, such as
 integration with 3rd part frameworks or extra functionalities.
 
 == Background ==
 Google Guice is a modern, lightweight and fast Dependency Injection
 Open Source Java library developed by Google, released for the first
 time on 2006, which is developed under the Google governance.
 A small group of people, specifically ASF committers Davide Palmisano,
 Marco Spearanza and Simone Tripodi, that define themselves The 99
 Software Foundation[3] (also 99soft for brevity), with the help of
 some contributors, has developed and maintained a good number of Open
 Source Google Guice extensions[4], that have been adopted in some
 (Open Source) projects.
 Since the community clearly demonstrated the sign of growing
 participation, they thought times were mature enough to move the
 components to a real community-driven environment such as the Apache
 Software Foundation.
 
 == Rationale ==
 Actually, there are no projects hosted by the ASF focused on providing
 Google Guice extensions and even if Google provides some extensions
 and allows people participating by submitting issues/patches/... there
 is no real community involvement, so moving the existing 99soft
 components under the Apache umbrella would mean create a real
 community-driven project around Guice where people can become active
 part of the development.
 
 = Current Status =
 == Meritocracy ==
 The historical 99soft team believes in meritocracy and always acted as
 a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other communication
 channels have always been adopted since its first releases. The
 adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the natural
 evolution for 99soft components. Moreover, the Apache standards will
 enforce the existing 99soft community practices and will be a
 foundation for future committers involvement.

 * Thilo-Alexander Ginkel thilo at ginkel dot com
 
 == Alignment ==
 The Apache Onami project is intended to be portable and be fully
 compatible with Google Guice. To promote the adoption of this project,
 we believe that it is important that it remains free from corporate
 association and is perceived by the community to be vendor neutral. To
 this end, the Apache Software Foundation with its values of
 transparency and community makes it an excellent fit for this project,
 not to mention that project creators are already Apache
 Members/Committers.
 
 = Known Risks =
 == Orphaned Products ==
 The increasing number of Google Guice adopters and the raising
 interest for its extensions let us believe that there is a minimal
 risk for this work to being abandoned from the community.
 
 == Inexperience with Open Source ==
 All of the committers have experience working in one or more open
 source projects inside and outside ASF.
 
 == Homogeneous Developers ==
 The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across
 the world with no one company being associated with a majority of the
 developers.  Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache
 committers already  and all are experienced with working in
 distributed development communities.
 
 == Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
 To the best of our knowledge, none of the initial committers are being
 paid to develop code for this project. 99soft components have already
 proven its capability to

Open Source Java library developed by Google, released for the first
time on 2006, which is developed under the Google governance.
A small group of people, specifically ASF committers Davide Palmisano,
Marco Spearanza and Simone Tripodi, that define themselves The 99
Software Foundation[3] (also 99soft for brevity), with the help of
some contributors, has developed and maintained a good number of Open
Source Google Guice extensions[4], that have been adopted in some
(Open Source) projects.
Since the community clearly demonstrated the sign of growing
participation, they thought times were mature enough to move the
components to a real community-driven environment such as the Apache
Software Foundation.

== Rationale ==
Actually, there are no projects hosted by the ASF focused on providing
Google Guice extensions and even if Google provides some extensions
and allows people participating by submitting issues/patches/... there
is no real community involvement, so moving the existing 99soft
components under the Apache umbrella would mean create a real
community-driven project around Guice where people can become active
part of the development.

= Current Status =
== Meritocracy ==
The historical 99soft team believes in meritocracy and always acted as
a community. Mailing list, open issue tracker and other communication
channels have always been adopted since its first releases. The
adoption in a larger community, such as Apache, is the natural
evolution for 99soft components. Moreover, the Apache standards will
enforce the existing 99soft community practices and will be a
foundation for future committers involvement.

== Alignment ==
The Apache Onami project is intended to be portable and be fully
compatible with Google Guice. To promote the adoption of this project,
we believe that it is important that it remains free from corporate
association and is perceived by the community to be vendor neutral. To
this end, the Apache Software Foundation with its values of
transparency and community makes it an excellent fit for this project,
not to mention that project creators are already Apache
Members/Committers.

= Known Risks =
== Orphaned Products ==
The increasing number of Google Guice adopters and the raising
interest for its extensions let us believe that there is a minimal
risk for this work to being abandoned from the community.

== Inexperience with Open Source ==
All of the committers have experience working in one or more open
source projects inside and outside ASF.

== Homogeneous Developers ==
The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across
the world with no one company being associated with a majority of the
developers.  Many of these initial developers are experienced Apache
committers already  and all are experienced with working in
distributed development communities.

== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
To the best of our knowledge, none of the initial committers are being
paid to develop code for this project. 99soft components have already
proven its capability to attract external developers.

== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
Google Guice is already used
