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 ;)
