creating a sandbox project?

[Daniel McEnnis <dm...@gmail.com>]

Apache Commons Dev,

Ho do I initiate a sandbox project? I have a collection of tools for
automating factory class creation for objects, including dynamic loading
without configuration files, auto-loading new factory types, GUI friendly
automated factory browsing, GUI friendly automated browsing of factory
implementation options, etc. with implementation of creation functions on
an factory Abstract class to get this. How do I get started?

Daniel.

For small projects, I wouldn't go through the incubator if they ultimatley
should end up at commons anyway.

You can send a [PRPOSAL] mail to this list, describing the project you have
in mind.
- what can your project do?
- what is the value of the project?
- how das it relate to other projects within and outside the ASF (in your
case: why would I use your project instead of for example using spring
beans with scope prototype?)
- what are the use cases you're trying to address?

Make the code available (github/googlecode) and convince others, that your
library is useful. Provide some examples, so people get an understanding of
how the parts play together.

If you can convince people from your idea, the code can move to commons
sandbox.

Regrads,
Benedikt

Hi, Daniel.
  The Apache Commons sandbox is open to any Apache committer, but there
isn't any simple avenue of ingress for X random codebase to come into the
Commons sandbox. The Apache Incubator is a better fit, but usually having
some level of existing community around a codebase is helpful/expected when
coming into the Incubator.

HTH,
Matt
