New package - how to propose?

[Alistair Young <al...@smo.uhi.ac.uk>]

Hi folks,
I was wondering what the process was for proposing a new commons package.
I have Novell eDir LDAP/NDAP java code that I was thinking of turning into
a commons package for eDirectory development, as Novell is pushing Linux
and their java interfaces to eDir.

I read the charter but I can't seem to find how to start a new package.

thanks,
Alistair

Thanks Noel,
I was unaware of the Apache Directory Project. However the package would
cover Novell file stores as well as directories. When the java enabled
Groupwise system comes out I'd like to interface to that also.

It's basically a toolkit for enterprise directory account/file store
creation/maintenance. We use it at the moment for driving auto creation of
accounts from a Student Record System.

It would rely on openLDAP (provided by Novell) and the Novell NDAP jars.

Would such an arrangement be incompatible with ASF licensing?

How does one go about getting into the incubator? I can't see the process
described anywhere.

thanks greatly,

Alistair

You're likely to need to come through the Incubator.

Ownership?

And are you aware of the Apache Directory project?
