I once guided MerlinDeveloper (big external package with one new developer) through incubation in a week. Just fill out the template and all the bullets (yes the community is healthy, yes the ip issues are resolved, yes the pmc wants to do this, yes yes all ok) and run the proper votes, less work than figuring out whether it should happen as part of the incubator, and you're making sure you have all your I's dotted :-) >> Please >> don't take this question as an attempt to weasel out of having to >> incubate. Heh. Incubation is something *you* do. The incubator pmc restricts itself to watching and nodding gently if possible. > To provide another example in the area of this question. > > Would we create a mailing list just for commons-csv, or would we > create a commons-incubator mailing list to be used for each component > that works its way through the incubator? Since the developers you're bringing into jakarta commons are already apache committers, and since further development discussion would occur on the commons mailing list, I wouldn't bother with worrying about setting up a PPMC or a new mailing list or anything like that. You're just going through the "IP clearing" part of incubation, jakarta can do the community aggregation within the existing jakarta commons infrastructure, you just declare that its fine and we believe you :-). Similarly with SVN, you could import into /incubator/..., then when the IP stuff is fixed you svn mv everything into j-c. Done and done, with svn history showing the correct IP clearing process.
