Apache NetBeans Proposal
Is it me or has Apache increasingly become the place open source projects of big companies go to die? OpenOffice, Geronimo, Harmony, Wave, etc.pp.<p>I really think that Apache should stop incubating projects which were essentially discarded by their corporate owners. Successful OSS projects are either community projects from day one (HTTPd etc) or require (at least initially) strong interest and involvement of the company that donates the code. How can you expect a community to magically develop around an abandoned project?
