This is my interpretation, so please do not take it as an Incubator
Project PMC's one.

-- Apache Incubator welcomes the projects which are already decided

-- to commons, so we can accept.

-- Incubator Project might have two posibillities.

-- 1. Donation from other communities (sourceforge, etc.), and

--    rules, etc.
-- 2. Apache Projects to be molded more to form healthy community

-- As for <2>, current "FTPServer" and "AltRMI" are the cases

-- [Math] could have the possiblities of <2> not <1>.

I am not sure the history of "FTPServer" and "AltRMI", so 
maybe I am wrong.
(I've heard the "Tapestry", "Lenya"'s cases already)

> thanks for the "cross pollination",

I am still wondering that "math" might have come to get more
NEEDs not only as "small scalable components" but also as "endurable
for commercial use, complexed components, alike to commercial products".
The latter case, there might be a possibilities that "jakarta-maths and
jakarta-commons-math" co-exist...(Also, the community, developers might
be the same) I am not sure my intuition would be realistic or not.

Sincerely,
