myfaces - Apache Incubator

(2004-10-17) All needed CLAs are on file. A code grant is in transit. Accounts for the committers have been created. Mailing lists are created. Committers are subscribed. The Jira setup for the project is being finalized. The project incubator page is created. Committers are preparing the SourceForge CVS for import to Apache.

One account's credentials were lost in transit (grantsmith). Request to root@ to resend the credentials to an alternate address was made 14/Oct/2004. (Credential now received.)

Project Setup

This is the first phase on incubation, needed to start the project at Apache.

Identify the project to be incubated

DONE	If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names.
DONE	If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
DONE	If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted.

Interim responsibility

status	item
DONE	Identify all the Mentors for the incubation, by asking all that can be Mentors.
DONE	Subscribe all Mentors on the pmc and general lists.

Incubation

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.

Collaborative Development

DONE: Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?
DONE: Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.)
DONE: Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
DONE: Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?

Licensing awareness

DONE: Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers?

Incubator sign-off

Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks?
