James,

Incubation process is not set in stone. Just last week, we voted on
standardizing the mailing list names. So it is a mix of good
judgement, experience, consensus and rules. If you insist we can put
start a VOTE on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think you are part of that as well.

I did bring up issues on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing lists and we
resolved it. As to "related-ness". I'd even be ok with ActiveMQ as a
TLP or ServiceMix as a TLP. But it does not seem right to be part of
Geronimo as a sub project. I'd prefer ServiceMix folks to work more
closely with WS folks or even move to WS-land. But that's another
story. FYI, am and Guillaume Nodet did work during the hackathon on
some stuff. But i'd like to see more closer cooperation. Especially
for items that you need and those that affect Geronimo like JAX-WS
2.0/JAXB. It's not like we want all ws stuff to be in ws pmc. JSR 181
in Beehive and WSRP4J in portals are good examples of sister projects
that still work closely with Axis dev folks.

Also, what does "community" means? does it mean existing folks who are
working on the projects already at codehaus? Especially when Syanpse
and Axis are mentioned in the proposal and we don't see anyone show up
on the dev mailing lists, it's just fishy to say the least. FYI, this
is not the first time i had to do this. I did this with beehive too.
See my post in Oct 2004 articulating the same concerns with beehive.

thanks for listening,
