Hi Ji Hoon Kim, Good luck building your community, and I hope to see you in a while.
One suggestion:1. If you do intend to come back to Apache later on, you should keep track of all the people who contribute code to the project and
2. It wasn't clear from the wiki proposal, but consider licensing the code using the Apache license from the beginning.

Thank you for your advice and your willingness to provide some direction, appreciate it much. Since I have a better understanding of what is possible, I and others have taken the project to Google code and we will start the growth of the community there. In the future if the interest of the project grows to a greater degree, we will possibly consider reaching out to ASF once again with community and code that is much more mature. Thank you once again!!!

Now that Iknow there isn't any interest, I will consider moving the project to an another repository....That's probably the best thing to do at this point, and if you're ableto 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. -BertrandOn Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 2:55 PM, Martin Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Honestly, I wonder whether it is worth pursuing this at all. The proposal has been posted to this list five times in the last month, with only a single response. That doesn't fill me with confidence, to say the least. If there's so little interest in bringing it in at all, that doesn't seem toaugur well for a successful incubation.I wonder, too, at the doggedness in trying to bring it here, rather than simply setting up shop at Google Code or the like, and moving forward withit there. -- Martin CooperOn Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 2:43 PM, Jihoon Kim <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:Hi!My name is Jihoon Kim and I was hoping if I could get some guidance in incubating a project. I have read through various Wikipages and I do have some idea of what must be done to incubate a project, move it to a state of a podling, and finally have it promoted. But though I do have a rough understanding of the process, I was hoping to get Mentorsand Champions in helping us implement them.The project that I had planned is Alchemy project, which will allow additional Web 2.0 technologies as JSF component libraries. First set of component libraries to include within this project is the bridge between Flex and JSF, as can be seen within the following JIRA linkhttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-1250.Initially, I thought to contribute it as a patch to MyFaces, but sincethe size of the contribution was rather large and I was the soledeveloper, MyFaces PMCs have directed me to the Incubator to incubate it as component library under Alchemy project. Then when the project has matured and have gathered enough community members to sustain the maintenance of the code, they said they would consider having it as asubproject under the MyFaces main project. In a nutshell, the contribution is to give users capability in creating Flex components as JSF components. So users users wouldcreate the components as normal JSF components and the contribution will create the necessary SWF files and etcetera and link the values of the components back to the managed beans using JSON +JavaScript andActionScript. So all users would need is a Jar of the componentlibrary and they would be able to create Flex applications by creating normal JSF components. The contribution will then bind the data frommanaged beans to components within the created SWF file.Further detail regarding the project has been written up within thefollowing proposal : http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MyFacesAlchemyProposal.Current members who are interested in participating in this project are :myself [Jihoon Kim] Hazem Saleh [committer within MyFaces] Glauco P. Gomes [developer within MyFaces] Matthias Wessendorf [who has suggested in helping out as a mentor/champion] my coworkersI think that this integration will be an interesting one that userscan use to create Web 2.0 applications beyond the method ofJavaScript. Also since I think that this is one of the areas that haslots of potential, I think with time there will be additional components/ideas related to the contribution that will be brought forth [i.e. possible handling of requirement of flash in user'sbrowsers {rendering it as a Dojo, HTML, or Flash depending on user'sbrowser setting}].During the discussion of this contribution within the MyFaces mailing list, many have shown positive interest in the project providing goodsign that the components libraries will be used by developer community. Also the integration will possibly reduce number of discussion in various mailing list of "JSF vs Flex" and will allow developers to create simple Flex application without purchasing FlexBuilder and learning of the technology.MyFaces PMCs have confirmed that there aren't any legal issues for theFlex and JSF integration by pinging the legal mailing list.
