If we eventually get the code hosted on https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf it should be no problem to propagate updates to or from the github page, depending on how things worked out. This model seemed to make sense at the time. I had noticed that the accumulo core was doing the same thing. This also had the added benefit of having a place where the code could be subject to public scrutiny and version controlled as we got it to an acceptable state. I noticed some notes in the apache documents about coding standards and there was the whole licensing concern etc... There has already been some modification of the code since Aaron uploaded the .tgz here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1804 Restructuring and adding documentation.
Sub-project is identified as an incubation graduation status. I think in accumulo project vocabulary sub-projects are contrib projects? Am I right to think this? I think you had offered to help kick off incubation. Is that the right path to a contrib project or is there a different way to get there from here?
