Hi Alexei,

I also think that a lab is not well suited to your project's scope and
goals - I'm just quoting the above excerpt where you talk about a
"product", and that's not what labs are meant for IMHO, they're meant
for experiments. You also seem to need an issue tracker of your own,
and binary releases - that's not labs.

I would suggest going for the incubator, assuming you can form a small
community of interested people and mentors. If not, starting outside
Apache but with the Apache way of working, and coming back to incubate
a bit later, might be an option.
