Hi Josh,
I have some questions:

As a mentor, I consciously avoided an explicit "+1" until we got some IPMC
discussion. Let me expand:
The current members of Fluo are great, get the Apache Way, and are
self-sufficient. I have no concerns over them operating as a TLP -- I think
they are ready. However, they have only added a single committer and I see none
in the pipeline -- Fluo is defined by the current committers.
(1) Seems to be a niche project as you state below which is just within the
range of 5 contributors. Am I wrong?
Yup, that sounds about right. I'm notice three of them being the most
active, but I tend to not watch that closely.
My hesitation is balancing the Incubators goal of "pushing podlings to graduate" and
ensuring adequate diversity in the podling. This is especially difficult for Fluo as they're
"niche on niche" (it's a difficult dist-sys problem/software, and not many people use the
tech they're building on top of given my view of the world).
I realize that this discussion could easily spiral out of control, turning into
some meta-discussion about Incubator goals. I want to avoid that.
I'm looking for some feelings from other IPMC folks about how to approach the Fluo
podling given their specific circumstances. If other people are also hesitant, I would
also be interested in suggestions about what we would concretely change (because I don't
know what to suggest that "fix" the diversity issue for them that isn't
changing the core of their project). If people aren't worried, I'm happy to give an
explicit +1.
(2) Has any consideration been given to becoming a project within Accumulo? Or
are the goals of Fluo distinct from and not wholly dependent on Accumulo?
(3) Corollary - it seems a large number of Fluo Initial Committers were also
Accumulo PMC. (I not intentionally rehashing any prior conversation.)
Will leave Christopher's response to (thoroughly) answer this ;)
