Hi Mark, The next step would be to create a proposal document. A recent example: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/HamiltonProposal
If you or one of your colleagues could fill in a form, maybe in Google docs and share it when it is ready, I can put it on the ASF Confluence website.
