<p>While any project meeting the criteria above can apply, meeting these
criteria don't guarantee acceptance of your project. The Conservancy
favors projects that are well-established and have some track record of
substantial contributions from a community of volunteer developers.
Furthermore, the Conservancy does gives higher priority to projects that
have an established userbase and interest, but also tries to accept some
smaller projects with strong potential.</p>
