-This document is descriptive, not normative. It describes approaches to
-drawing up a proposal for submission. It is not an inflexible standard but
-represents a consensus condensed from discussions on the
-<a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>general mailing list</a>.

- <section id="background">
- <title>Background</title>
- <p>
-<a href='entry.html'>Entry</a> to the incubator is a democratic
-<a href="/incubation/Process_Description">process</a> decided by a vote.
-The proposal is the document upon which the
-<a href="/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Sponsor">Sponsor</a> votes.
-So, though it's neither necessary nor sufficient to have a good proposal,
-a good proposal increases the chances of a positive result.
- </p>
- <p>
-Proposals to the incubator generate attention. The
-<a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>general mailing list</a> is open,
-widely discussed and well indexed. It is a very public space.
-The proposal is a manifesto.
-A good proposal should target also the wider audience and not just the
-<a href="/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29">
-jury</a>.
-Use this time to engage and inform potential
-<a href='participation.html#developer'>developers</a>
-and <a href='participation.html#user'>users</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-Much of the information will be reused in the
-<a href='sites.html'>Podling website</a>.
-A good proposal should shape the future evolution of the project
-but each proposal captures only the particular instant at birth.
-It is understood that projects change and evolve.
- </p>
- </section>
- <section id='note-on-improvements'><title>Continuous Improvement</title>
- <p>
-The <a href="/incubation/Process_Description.html">Incubation process</a> is continuously evolving.
-Hopefully this will help newer projects to be even stronger and more successful then existing ones.
-One consequence of this approach is that precedence is not always a reliable guide.
-Another is that documentation may be a little outdated.
- </p>
- </section>

- <title>Help Wanted!</title>
- <p>
-Help to improve the system by posting a patch for this document to the
-<a href='https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR'>incubator section</a>
-of <a href='http://issues.apache.org/jira'>JIRA</a>
-or a comment to the <a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>general list</a>.
- </p>
- </section>
- </section>
- <section id="formulating"><title>Formulating A Proposal</title>
- <section id='preparation'><title>Preparation</title>
- <p>
-Start with research. The <a href='entry.html'>incubator entry guide</a> is a good place to start.
-Read the <a href='http://www.apache.org'>Apache</a>
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation'>documentation</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-<a href='lists.html'>Subscribe</a> to the
-<a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>general mailing list</a>.
-Spend some time reviewing the
-<a href='http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/'>mailing lists archives</a>.
-The mailing lists are the canonical form of
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#communication'>communication</a>
-and <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#decision-making'>decision making</a>
-at Apache. Documentation is an attempt to codify the consensus formed and record the decisions taken on list.
- </p>
- <p>
-Before starting on the formal proposal, recruit a
-<a href="/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion">Champion</a>. The Champion understands
-Apache and should be able to help navigate the process.
- </p>
- <p>
-Review <a href='http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/'>recent proposals</a> and how they have been
-<a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/">received</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-The incoming community needs to work together before presenting this
-proposal to the incubator. Think about and discuss future goals and the reasons for coming to Apache.
-Feel free to ask questions <a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>on list</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-Every proposal is different. There will always be some aspects which do not seem
-to fit well into the <a href='#proposal-template'>template</a>.
-Use the template as a guide but do not feel constrained
-by it. Adopt what works and change what doesn't. That's fine - in fact, it's expected.
- </p>
- <p>
-Be sure to add your proposal to <a href='http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ProjectProposals'>this list</a>.
- </p>
- </section>
- <section id='name'><title>Project Name</title>
- <p>
- While it is important to ensure a
- <a href="graduation.html#notes-names">suitable project name</a>
- and product names sometime during incubation, it is not necessary
- to do this prior to entering incubation. In fact, be careful not to
- disrupt your proposal and entry process.
- </p>
- </section>
- <section id='presentation'><title>Presentation</title>
- <p>
-Once the preparatory work is done, the proposal should be presented to the
-incubator. Post the proposal in plain text in an email to the
-<a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>mailing list</a>
-whose subject is prefixed with <code>[PROPOSAL]</code>. You should be clear
-that you want to discuss your proposal when submitting this mail.
- </p>
- <p>
-If there is interest in the proposal, expect a lively debate to begin.
-Approval is an open and
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html'>democratic</a>
-<a href='entry.html#understanding'>process</a>.
-Discussion is an important part of opinion formation. A proposal
-will require development if it is to gain the maximum level of support from the
-<a href="/whoweare.html">electorate</a>.
- </p>
- </section>
- <section id='developing'><title>Developing The Proposal</title>
- <p>
-Expect to work on improving the proposal on the list after presenting it.
-No preparation can cover every question. It is usual for unexpected
-and novel questions to be asked. This is often a sign of interest. So
-(though it may sometimes feel like an ordeal)
-approach these questions as a positive opportunity.
- </p>
- <p>
-The <a href='http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/'>wiki</a> is a good
-development tool. Consider creating a wiki page containing the evolving proposal
-content. Those who are interested should add themselves
-to the watch list for the page so they can receive change notifications.
- </p>
- <p>
-Developing the proposal on the wiki allows easy collaboration. This has disadvantages
-as well as advantages. The wiki is just a tool to assist the easy development of the
-final proposal (the one that will be voted upon). Not every change improves a proposal
-and there is no requirement that every change is accepted by the proposers. Note that the incubator
-asks all participants to abide by appropriate <a href='participation.html'>netiquette</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-Effective management of this development is an exercise in community building.
-The wiki is not an appropriate forum for debating changes. Discussion should be
-gently moved onto the appropriate
-<a href='lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org'>mailing list</a>.
- </p>
- </section>
- <section id='vote'><title>The Vote</title>
- <p>
-When the proposal seems finished and some sort of consensus has emerged, the
-proposal should be put to a vote.
-
-If the wiki is used to develop the proposal, please ensure that the wiki
-matches the final proposal then add a notice to the wiki that development of
-the document is now complete:
- </p>
-<source>
-----
-/!\ '''FINAL''' /!\
-
-This proposal is now complete and has been submitted for a VOTE.
-----
-</source>
- <p>
-Embed the final proposal text or a link to a specific revision number of the
-wiki proposal page in the email which kicks off the VOTE thread. If a change
-is required after the vote has been called then the vote must be cancelled,
-the change made, and the vote restarted. Alternatively, Mentors will advise
-on how to make the change once the proposal has been accepted if this is
-appropriate. Do not edit the wiki proposal unless you cancel the vote
-thread.
- </p>
- </section>
-</section>
- <section id="proposal-template">
- <title>Proposal Template</title>
- <p>
-The aim of presenting a template with examples and comments is educational.
-Proposals are not required to adopt this format.
-Every proposal is different. There may be sections which don't seem to be
-useful. It's fine to miss them out and to add new ones that the proposal seems
-to need. Best practice evolves. Innovation is acceptable.
- </p>
- <p>
-The format is less important than the content.
- </p>
- <p>
-In the following sections:
- </p>
- <note>
- <p>
-Commentary is thus.
- </p>
- </note>
- <source>
-Examples are thus.
- </source>
- <section id='template-abstract'><title>Abstract</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-A short descriptive summary of the
-project. A short paragraph, ideally one sentence in length.
-</p><p>
-The abstract should be suitable for reuse in
-the board resolution used to create the official project upon graduation,
-as the first paragraph on the podling <a href='sites.html'>web site</a>
-and in the <a href='http://projects.apache.org/create.html'>DOAP</a> document.
-</p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Examples:
-
- Geronimo will be a J2EE compliant container.
-
- Heraldry will develop technologies around the emerging user-centric
- identity space.
-
- Yoko will be a CORBA server.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-proposal'><title>Proposal</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-A lengthier description of the proposal. Should be reasonably declarative.
-More discursive material should be included in the <a href='#template-rationale'>rationale</a>
-(or other later sections).
-</p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (XAP):
- XAP is to provide an XML-based declarative framework for building,
- deploying and maintaining rich, interactive, Ajax-powered web
- applications. A basic principal of XAP is to leverage existing Ajax
- ...
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-background'><title>Background</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-Provides context for those unfamiliar with the problem space and history.
-</p><p>
-Explain terms whose meanings may be misunderstood (for example,
-where there is not a single widely adopted definition).
-<p>
-</p>
-This content should be capable of being safely ignored by domain experts.
-It should probably find an eventual home on the Podling website.
-</p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Heraldry):
- To provide some background, the Higgins Project is being actively
- developed within Eclipse and is a framework that will enable users
- and enterprises to integrate identity, profile, and relationship
- information across multiple systems. Using context providers,
- existing and new systems such as directories, collaboration spaces
- ...
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-rationale'><title>Rationale</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-Explains why this project needs to exist and why should it be adopted by Apache.
-This is the right place for discursive material.
-</p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Beehive):
- There is a strong need for a cohesive, easy-to-use programming model
- for building J2EE applications. Developers new to Java are forced to
- learn a myriad of APIs just to build simple applications; advanced
- J2EE developers are forced to write tedious plumbing code; and tools
- authors are limited in what they can do to simplify the experience
- due to the underlying complexity.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-initial-goals'><title>Initial Goals</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-A complex proposal (involving multiple existing code bases, for example)
-may cause concerns about its practicality. A good way
-to address these concerns is to create a plan that demonstrates the proposal
-is feasible and has been carefully thought through.
-</p>
-<p>
-Many projects will not need this section.
-</p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Heraldry):
- * Expansion of Yadis and OpenID libraries into additional languages
- beyond the existing Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP libraries
- * OpenID authentication specification revision to fix known security
- considerations, investigate compatibility with the DIX IETF
- proposal, describe Yadis integration, and allow either an URL or
- XRI be used as the End User's Identifier
- ...
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-current-status'><title>Current Status</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-This section (and the contained topics) describes
-the candidate's current status and development practices.
-This should be an honest assessment balancing these against Apache's
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/'>principles</a> and
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#management'>development ideals</a>.
-</p><p>
-For some proposals, this is a chance to demonstrate understanding
-of the issues that will need to addressed before graduation.
-For others, this is a chance to highlight the close match with Apache that already exists.
-Proposals without an initial code base should just simply state that.
-</p><p>
-Some proposals name this section <em>criteria</em> (though the term is a little misleading).
-</p>
- </note>
- <section id='template-meritocracy'><title>Meritocracy</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Apache is a
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy'>meritocracy</a>.
- </p><p>
-Once a developer has submitted enough good patches then it should be
-natural that they are elected to committer. It should be natural that active committers are elected
-to the project management committee (PMC).
- </p>
- <p>
-This process of renewal is vital to the long term health of Apache projects.
-This is the right place to demonstrate that this process is understood
-by the proposers.
- </p>
- </note>
- <source>
-Example (OFBiz):
- OFBiz was originally created by David E. Jones and Andy Zeneski in
- May 2001. The project now has committers and users from around the
- world. The newer committers of the project joined in subsequent
- years by initially submitting patches, then having commit privileges
- for some of the applications, and then privileges over a larger
- range of applications...
-
-Example (Beehive):
- We plan to do everything possible to encourage an environment that
- supports a meritocracy. One of the lessons that the XMLBeans
- committers have learned is that meritocracies don't just evolve
- from good intentions; they require actively asking the community
- for help, listing/specifying the work that needs to be done, and
- keeping track of and encouraging members of the community who make
- any contributions...
- </source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-community'><title>Community</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Apache is interested only in communities.
- </p><p>
-Candidates should start with a
-community and have the potential to grow and renew this community by
-attracting new users and developers. Explain how the proposal fits this vision.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Beehive):
- BEA has been building a community around predecessors to this
- framework for the last two years. There is currently an active
- newsgroup that should help us build a new community at Apache...
-
-Example (WebWork2):
- The WebWork 2 community has a strong following with active mailing
- lists and forums...
-
-Example (WADI):
- The need for a full service clustering and caching component in the
- open source is tremendous as its use can be applied in many areas,
- thus providing the potential for an incredibly large community...
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-core-developers'><title>Core Developers</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Apache is composed of <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#hats'>individuals</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
-It is useful to provide a brief introduction to the developers on the
-<a href='#template-initial-committers'>initial committers</a> list.
-This is best done here (and not in that section). This section may be used to discuss
-the diversity of the core development team.
- </p>
- </note>
- <source>
-Example (ServiceMix)
- The core developers are a diverse group of developers many of which
- are already very experienced open source developers. There is at
- least one Apache Member together with a number of other existing
- Apache Committers along with folks from various companies.
- http://servicemix.org/Team
-
-Example (WADI)
- WADI was founded by Jules Gosnell in 2004, it now has a strong base
- of developers from Geronimo, Castor, OpenEJB, Mojo, Jetty,
- ActiveCluster, ActiveMQ, and ServiceMix.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-alignment'><title>Alignment</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Describe why Apache is a good match for the proposal.
-An opportunity to highlight links with Apache
-<a href='http://projects.apache.org'>projects</a>
-and <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html'>development philosophy</a>.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Beehive):
- The initial code base is targeted to run within Tomcat, but the goal
- is to allow the framework to run on any compliant Servlet or J2EE
- container. The Web services component, based on JSR-181, will
- leverage Axis. The NetUI component builds on top of Struts. The
- underlying Controls component framework uses Velocity. There are
- other projects that we will need to work with, such as the Portals
- and Maven projects.
-</source>
- </section>
- </section>
- <section id='template-known-risks'><title>Known Risks</title>
- <note>
-<p>
-An exercise in self-knowledge.
-Risks don't mean that a project is unacceptable.
-If they are recognized and noted then they can be addressed during incubation.
-</p>
- </note>
- <section id='template-orphaned-products'><title>Orphaned products</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-A public commitment to future development.
- </p><p>
-Recruiting a diverse development community and strong user base takes time.
-Apache needs to be confident that the proposers are committed.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Yoko):
- The contributors are leading vendors in this space. There is no risk
- of any of the usual warning signs of orphaned or abandoned code.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (Ivy):
-Due to its small number of committers, there is a risk of being orphaned.
-The main knowledge of the codebase is still mainly owned by Xavier Hanin.
-Even if Xavier has no plan to leave Ivy development, this is a problem we
-are aware of and know that need to be worked on so that the project become
-less dependent on an individual.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (Tika):
-There are a number of projects at various stages of maturity that implement
-a subset of the proposed features in Tika. For many potential users the
-existing tools are already enough, which reduces the demand for a more
-generic toolkit. This can also be seen in the slow progress of this proposal
-over the past year.
-
-However, once the project gets started we can quickly reach the feature level
-of existing tools based on seed code from sources mentioned below. After that
-we believe to be able to quickly grow the developer and user communities based
-on the benefits of a generic toolkit over custom alternatives.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-inexperience-with-open-source'><title>Inexperience with Open Source</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-If the proposal is based on an existing open source project with a history of open development,
-then highlight this here.
- </p>
- <p>
-If the list of <a href='#template-initial-committers'>initial committers</a> contains developers
-with strong open source backgrounds then highlight this here.
- </p>
- <p>
-Inexperience with open source is one reason why closed projects choose to apply for incubation.
-Apache has developed over the years a store of experience in this area.
-Successfully opening up a closed project means an investment of energy by all involved.
-It requires a willingness to learn and to give back to the community. If the proposal is based
-around a closed project and comes with very little understand of the open source space,
-then acknowledge this and demonstrate a willingness to learn.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Cayenne):
- Cayenne was started as an open source project in 2001 and has
- remained so for 5 years.
- </source>
- <br/>
- <source>
-Example (Beehive):
- Many of the committers have experience working on open source
- projects. Five of them have experience as committers on other
- Apache projects.
- </source>
- <br/>
- <source>
-Example (Ivy):
- While distributed under an open source license, access to Ivy was initially
- limited with no public access to the issue tracking system or svn
- repository. While things have changed since then - the svn repository is
- publicly accessible, a JIRA instance has been setup since june 2005, many
- new features are first discussed on the forum or JIRA - experience with a
- true open source development model is currently limited.
- However, Maarten has already a good experience with true open development
- process, and bring his experience to the project.
- </source>
- <br/>
- <source>
-Example (River):
- The initial committers have varying degrees of experience with open source
- projects. All have been involved with source code that has been released under
- an open source license, but there is limited experience developing code with an
- open source development process. We do not, however, expect any difficulty in
- executing under normal meritocracy rules.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-homogenuous-developers'><title>Homogenous Developers</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Healthy projects need a mix of developers. Open development requires a commitment
-to encouraging a diverse mixture. This includes the art of working as part of
-a geographically scattered group in a distributed environment.
- </p>
- <p>
-Starting with a homogenous community does not prevent a project from entering incubation.
-But for those projects, a commitment to creating a diverse mix of developers is useful.
-Those projects who already have a mix should take this chance to highlight that they do.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (Beehive):
- The current list of committers includes developers from several
- different companies plus many independent volunteers. The committers
- are geographically distributed across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
- They are experienced with working in a distributed environment.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (River)
- Since the Jini Technology Starter Kit has been mainly developed to date by Sun
- Microsystems, the vast majority of initial committers to the project are from
- Sun. Over the years, Sun has received bug fixes and enhancements from other
- developers which have been incorporated into the code. Our plan is to work with
- these other developers and add them as committers as we progress. There are
- three other initial committers (non Sun): Bill Venners, Dan Creswell, and Mark
- Brouwer. Bill is the lead of the Service UI API work, Dan has been involved with
- much Jini-based development, including an implementation of the JavaSpaces
- service called Blitz <http://www.dancres.org/blitz/>, and Mark is veteran of
- much Jini-based development, including commercial work at Virgil
- <http://www.virgil.nl> as well as leading the open source Cheiron
- <http://www.cheiron.org> project.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (Ivy):
- With only two core developers, at least they are not homogenous! Xavier and
- Maarten knew each other only due to their common interest in Ivy.
-</source>
- </section>
- <section id='template-reliance-on-salaried-developers'><title>Reliance on Salaried Developers</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-A project dominated by salaried developers who are interested in the code
-only whilst they are employed to do so risks its long term health.
- </p><p>
-Apache is <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#hats'>about</a> people,
-not corporations. We hope that developers continue to be involved with Apache
-no matter who their current employer happens to be.
- </p>
- <p>
-This is a right place to indicate the initial balance between salaried developers
-and volunteers. It's also good to talk about the level of commitment of the developers.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (OpenJPA):
- Most of the developers are paid by their employer to contribute to
- this project, but given the anticipation from the Java community for
- the a JPA implementation and the committers' sense of ownership for
- the code, the project would continue without issue if no salaried
- developers contributed to the project.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (River):
- It is expected that Jini development will occur on both salaried time and on
- volunteer time, after hours. While there is reliance on salaried developers
- (currently from Sun, but it's expected that other company's salaried developers
- will also be involved), the Jini Community is very active and things should
- balance out fairly quickly. In the meantime, Sun will support the project in the
- future by dedicating 'work time' to Jini, so that there is a smooth transition.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (Wicket):
- None of the developers rely on Wicket for consulting work, though two -
- Martijn and Eelco - are writing Wicket In Action (publisher Manning) in
- their spare time. Most of the developers use Wicket for their day jobs,
- some for multiple projects, and will do so for a considerable while as
- their companies (specifically Topicus, Cemron and Teachscape) choose
- Wicket as their development framework of choice.

- <note>
- <p>
-Apache projects should be open to collaboration with other open source projects both
-within Apache and without. Candidates should be willing to reach outside their own little bubbles.
- </p><p>
-This is a an opportunity to talk about existing links. It is also the right place to
-talk about potential future links and plans.
- </p><p>
-Apache allows different projects to have competing or overlapping goals. However, this should
-mean friendly competition between codebases and cordial cooperation between communities.
- </p><p>
-It is not always obvious whether a candidate is a direct competitor to an existing
-project, an indirect competitor (same problem space, different ecological niche) or are just
-peers with some overlap. In the case of indirect competition, it is
-important that the abstract describes accurately the niche. Direct competitors should expect
-to be asked to summarize architectural differences and similarities to existing projects.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (OpenJPA):
- Open JPA will likely be used by Geronimo, requires some Apache
- products (regexp, commons collections, commons lang, commons pool),
- and supports Apache commons logging.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (River)
- Currently the only tie to Apache projects is the starter kit's use
- of the Ant build tool. There are potential future ties (http server,
- database backend, etc)that will be explored.

- <section id='template-brand-fascination'><title>A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand</title>
- <note>
- <p>
-Concerns have been raised in the past that some projects appear to have been proposed
-just to generate positive publicity for the proposers. This is the right place
-to convince everyone that is not the case.
- </p><p>
-This is also the right place to build bridges with the
-community after past misdemeanors (for example, if any of those associated
-with the proposal have - in the past - sort to associate themselves with the Apache brand in
-factually incorrect ways) and promise good conduct for the future.
- </p>
- </note>
-<source>
-Example (CeltiXfire):
- While we expect the Apache brand may help attract more contributors,
- our interests in starting this project is based on the factors
- mentioned in the Rationale section. However, we will be sensitive to
- inadvertent abuse of the Apache brand and will work with the
- Incubator PMC and the PRC to ensure the brand policies are respected.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (Wicket):
- The ASF has a strong brand, and that brand is in itself attractive.
- However, the developers of Wicket have been quite successful on
- their own and could continue on that path with no problems at all.
- We are interested in joining the ASF in order to increase our
- contacts and visibility in the open source world. Furthermore, we
- have been enthusiastic users of Apache from the earliest hour
- (remember JServ anyone?), and feel honored at getting the
- opportunity to join the club.
-</source>
-<br/>
-<source>
-Example (OpenJPA):
- We think that Open JPA is something that will benefit from wide
- collaboration, being able to build a community of developers and
- committers that outlive the founders, and that will be embraced
- by other Apache efforts, such as the Geronimo project.

-The minimum required lists are private@<em>{podling}</em>.incubator.apache.org

-and dev@<em>{podling}</em>.incubator.apache.org lists.
-<a href='ppmc.html#PPMC+Mail+List'>Note</a>
-that projects historically
-misnamed the <em>private</em> list <em>pmc</em>. To
-avoid confusion over appropriate usage it was
-<a href="/official/mailing-lists.html#july-2005">resolved</a>
-that all such lists be renamed.
- </p><p>
-If this project is new to open source, then starting with these minimum lists
-is the best approach.
-The initial focus needs to be on recruiting new developers.
-Early adopters are potential developers.
-As momentum is gained, the community may decide to create commit
-and user lists as they become necessary.
- </p><p>
-Existing open source projects moving to Apache will probably want to adopt the
-same mailing list set up here as they have already. However, there is no necessity
-that all mailing lists be created during bootstrapping. New mailing lists can be
-<a href='http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact'>added</a>
-by a <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html'>VOTE</a>
-on the Podling list.
- </p>
- <p>
-By default, commits for <em>{podling}</em> will be emailed to
-commits@<em>{podling}</em>.incubator.apache.org.
-It is therefore recommended that this naming convention is adopted.

-Committers at Apache are <a href='http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#hats'>individuals</a>

- </p><p>
-For example, those in salaried positions whose job is to work on the
-project should list their affiliation. Having this list helps to judge how
-much diversity exists in the initial list and so how much work there is to
-do.
- </p>
- <p>
-This is best done in a separate section away from the committers

-Only the affiliations of committers on the initial bootstrap list

+= The Story of a Podling
+Apache Incubator PMC
+2002-10-16
+:jbake-type: proposalGuide
+:jbake-status: published
+:idprefix:
+:toc:
+:imagesdir: /images/
+
+*This is just a draft for now...still a work in progress*
+
+This is an informational overview of the life of a podling, from proposal to graduation.
+
+It is intended for people considering incubating their project at the ASF, or people joining podlings,
+as a single page that gives an overview of the incubation process, without going into too much detail.
+
+Links to examples of proposals, discussions etc. are provided
+to give a more concrete overview of what happens during incubation.
+
+We won't include many details - the goal is to keep this short,
+so that you consume it in about ten minutes.
+
+== Proposal
+
+The first step towards incubation is to create a proposal for the Incubator.
+Examples like the link:http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ClerezzaProposal[Clerezza] and
+link:http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/FlexProposal[Flex] proposals will
+give you a feel for what to put in there.
+
+Creating the proposal will usually raise a number of questions about your future
+podling, and it's good to already find an ASF link:http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion[champion]
+at this stage,
+to answer any questions that you might have or make the necessary contacts.
+
+Once your proposal is ready and you have decided to go forward, you can add it
+to the link:http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/[wiki] and send a [PROPOSAL]
+message to the general@a.o list. Incubator PMC members can then give their feedback
+to help refine the proposal before voting upon it.
+See the link:http://markmail.org/message/5udhowlggdmjsmd6[Flex discussion] for an example.
+
+== Mentors and initial committers
+In general 2-3 incubation mentors, either ASF members of Incubator PMC members
+Need to decide how to manage the list of initial committers
+
+== Incubator entry vote
+Starts when discussion is done
+Point to Flex vote
+72 hours as per ASF voting rules
+Usually driven by the champion
+Usually not contentious, as the previous phases help build consensus
+
+== Podling creation
+Point to Flex jira issues
+Driven by the champion
+
+== Initial code and trademarks
+
+If initial code is being donated you need software grants
+If the donated code has multiple owners or contributors, you might need to chase them down at this point, or omit the code for which you cannot get permission
+Any relevant trademarks should be donated at this point
+
+== First release
+
+It's good to make a first release early, even if it's not of great technical quality.
+From the Incubator's point of view, the release only has to fulfill the ASF's release requirements, which are primarily legal.
+Whether the product is good or useful software doesn't matter at this stage.
+
+Learning the ASF's legal rules and customs, adapting the codebase to conform to them, and getting that first release past the Incubator PMC voting stage can be hard, so it's a good idea to tackle this task during the initial burst of energy as incubation begins.
+A secondary goal of making an early release is to document the podling's release process (link to Flex or Sling process), so that subsequent releases are easy and fast and people who are not core developers may serve as release managers.
+
+== Community growth
+
+To graduate, a podling has to demonstrate its ability to grow its community. In practice, this means attracting and electing new committers and PPMC members.
+Starting early on this helps. (TODO: reading list, Jukka's posts?)
+
+TODO: demonstrate openness/diversity
+
+== Exit discussions
+Incubation can proceed in unexpected directions - the standard exit is to become a TLP but that's not the only possibility (join a TLP, go elsewhere, retire, ...) - which are not necessarily failures.
+
+Discuss with the mentors and community based on the graduation criteria (link - Clerezza discussion?)
+== Graduation vote
+
+If graduating to TLP, First step is to create the board resolution, discuss who's on the new PMC (link to flex as one example),
+it's good to have at least one ASF member in there.
+Community votes first, then IPMC.
+Point to policy + example votes
+
+== Board resolution
+The Incubator PMC acceptance vote is only a recommendation for the board to accept the new project.
+The new TLP only exists once the board approves the resolution to establish it. This is usually announced right after the board meeting, and the new PMC chair
+can then start the mechanics of establishing the TLP.
+
+== Champagne!
+Congratulations - at this point the new TLP is a full blown Apache project, and the newly created PMC is fully in charge of its destiny.

+[NOTE]
+====
+We ask that you please do not send us emails privately asking for
+support. We are non-paid volunteers who help out with the project and
+we do not necessarily have the time or energy to help people on an
+individual basis. Instead, we have setup mailing lists which often
+contain hundreds of individuals who will help answer detailed
+requests for help. The benefit of using mailing lists over private
+communication is that it is a shared resource where others can also
+learn from common mistakes and as a community we all grow together.

+
+== The Incubator Project Management Commitee (PMC)

+other projects and so functions a little differently.
