Apache Project proposal questions

[taher koitawala <ta...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
        I am currently preparing a project proposal which is mainly towards
the bigdata side. Problems i am facing are

   1. I have a proposal which I know will make sense to a lot of people,
   but that's the problem its just a proposal no code to start with.
   2. I have filled the abstract and the proposal sections in the proposal
   format but i don't  know what to fill in the mentor, known issues and
   meritocracy  section. I also I do not know a sponsor or a mentor whom i add
   or who can guide me.

Appreciate any help in advance.

Regards,
Taher Koitawala

Hi Taher,

Typically, our recommendations lean towards somewhat established codebases
over an empty codebase.  With sites like github now pretty dominant across
the board, it's easy to setup a repository on github and start attracting
users/developers to work with you on it.
