Apache Proposal AGAIN

Hi All,

The process for accepting a project into Apache has changed.  Now all 
projects need to go through the Incubator
[http://incubator.apache.org].  It is my opinion that this project 
already meets the criteria for acceptance into Jakarta
however, the Apache board has added this step as a gate between here and 
Jakarta.  

I suspect the "incubation" period will be short.  There is a catch.  We 
will still have to apply to Jakarta after the incubation and
the process for incubation is not very well defined.  There will be a 
number of bumps in the road and issues to be addressed.

However, I have the utmost confidence in this community and your talent 
and abillity to work together and make decisions.  
I am positive that this will be a fine addition to Apache in the end, in 
particular Jakarta.

With that being said, please consider this issue and signify whether I 
should move forward with submitting the proposal to the
incubator.

Thanks,

-Andy
