Christian, Thanks for the information. I was addressing Yuri directly as a starting point, since I am unfamiliar with anyone else who has been active on the Wave incubator code. I do understand the general structure of Apache. What I am trying to understand more clearly is whether the Apache organization as a whole governs the Wave incubator project or whether there is a subset of contributors who govern it. Trademark issues are certainly understood.
I am glad to contribute requirements specifications and review, though my coding days are pretty well past. My main concern is that the Wave specification has not progressed under Apache and no longer reflects the goals that Wave should be able to undertake in a mobile-first Web. I would like to encourage developers to step forward to work towards that goal. To that extend, the "third party" is simply other developers and enthusiasts who need to communicate with Apache more actively to help determine how best to move forward with Wave. I am taking that step on a non-commercial basis, in the hopes that we can develop a code base that will result in robust, interconnected commercial and non-commercial products and services. Presumed goodwill should be the order of the day for everyone in this process.
