accept Cometd as a Foundation sponsored project?

As per today's IRC discussion, a vote as been opened at the
Dojo 
foundation regarding our IP to Dojo. If accepted, we'll all
need to 
sign CLA's with the Dojo Foundation in order to move
forward. You can 
find the terms, which are identical to Apache's, here:

Background:
---------------

Cometd is a project that is developing a protocol (Bayeux)
and 
client/server implementations of a protocol for delivering 
JSON-formatted events over a publish/subscribe bus. The
project is 
currently working on a Twisted Python and Perlbal
implementations with 
the protocol current client work happening in Dojo SVN.

The aim of Cometd is to provide scalable comet transport
engines as a 
"last mile" solution to event-driven services.
It therefore seems a 
good fit as a Foundation project in that it helps provide 
infrastructure to support other foundation projects and
enable better 
UIs.

If accepted as a project, the Cometd team will request a
licensing 
variance to enable distribution of the Perl code under the
terms of the 
Artistic license (as previously discussed on this list).

The Measure:
---------------

        Having preformed all due diligence, shall the Dojo
Foundation 
        accept the assets, liability, and goodwill of the
Cometd 
        project and sponsor the Cometd project in an ongoing
fashion?

        Further, shall the Foundation accept the members of
the Cometd 
        team as commmitters (and therefore voters in
Foundation 
        matters)?

Voting rules:
---------------

Dojo Foundation 
          Project

It's almost all +1's right now. Should be good-to-go in
another 24 hours 
when the vote window wraps up.
