[annotator-dev] [DRAFT at 2] Apache Incubator Proposal

Thu May 26 19:33:39 UTC 2016

Hi all!

Last July I wrote up a proposal for potentially setting up an Apache Software Foundation incubator project for the community and code here.

The goal then (as now) was to bring all the interested parties into a shared, collaborative space where we could continue the vision of and progress on Annotator and related code.

Last week at I Annotate and the hackathon that followed, there was general support and encouragement to pursue such an idea in hopes of stabilizing the community here and bringing in more interest.

To that end, I've done a (somewhat heavy) revision of the original proposal:
https://github.com/openannotation/annotator/wiki/Apache-Incubation-Proposal

This revision focuses more on our diverse community and working to ensure its longevity.

Give that proposal a quick skim, and send in your feedback!

Cheers!
Benjamin
