Apache Wave facts for kids

Apache Wave is the project where wave technology is developed at Apache. Wave in a Box (WIAB) is the name of the main product at the moment, which is a server that hosts and federates waves, supports extensive APIs, and provides a rich web client. This project also includes an implementation of the Wave Federation protocol, to enable federated collaboration systems (such as multiple interoperable Wave In a Box instances).

Collaborative Development

Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? 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.) Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? Licensing awareness Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowledged by all committers? Exit Things to check for before voting the project out.

Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it? If graduating to a new PMC, has the board voted to accept it? Incubator sign-off Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks?
