That's probably the best thing to do at this point, and if you're able to build a small community there that might be a first step towards incubating at the ASF. IMO, and in general, the Incubator is much more welcoming to projects which already have some sort of community, as opposed to single-developer projects trying to build communities. -Bertrand > > On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 2:55 PM, Martin Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Honestly, I wonder whether it is worth pursuing this at all.
