This looks like an interesting and well-structured project. I'd like to join this proposal as a mentor if the initial members consider it helpful. I'm seeing similar necessity among the industry as well.
One comment: you may not call it Apache Ossie before its entering the Incubator. And even after that, an incubating mark is needed. Best, tison.
