I notice you changed the name to Yuking. While perhaps not a big consideration the word yuck or yuk in English means unpleasant.
@justinmclean Thank you for your advice,Let's talk about the name change in our community
I'm not saying you need to change it, you just might want to consider using this name. Many words mean something else in other languages.
That's true. We don't have to have a controversial name
@justinmclean Thanks a lot for your comments. Yu is a King in Chinese mythology. We previously decided to name the project YuKing, but use Yuking for convenience. It's really a two words name. I wonder is it ambiguous if we use YuKing, or will people judge YuKing is just Yuking in general?
If there's tendency that people treat YuKing as Yuking, we will discard this name. Otherwise, it is a good name.
I think YuKing would be fine and not many people would confuse that with Yuking.

Thanks for the explanation. We have decided to change the name to ShenYu another name of Yu. We realized that is better name at the time we made the decision.
After several days discussion with some Apache members, the draft is almost ready , please vote for donating the soul and soul-dashboard to Apache Foundation. soul will renamed Yuking!
the YukingProposal is :
Yuking Proposal
Abstract
Yuking is a high performance Microservices API gateway in Java ecosystem, compatible with a variety of mainstream framework systems, supports hot plug. Users can write their own plugin meet the current requirement and future needs in a variety of scenarios, especially in large-scale scenes.
Proposal
The Yuking project already has a large community with many contributors (https://dromara.org/awesome/#contributors). It is also widely adopted by many companies and organizations (https://dromara.org/awesome/#knownusers).
We believe that bringing Yuking into Apache Software Foundation could advance development of a stronger and more diverse open source community.
Dromara submits this proposal to donate Yuking's source codes and all related documentations to Apache Software Foundation. The codes are already under Apache License Version 2.0.
Background
Yuking has been used in production environment, its performance and flexibility allow us to use up very cool with the following features:
Rationale
More than 40 organizations (refer to Who is using Yuking: https://github.com/dromara/soul/issues/68 ) already benefit from running Yuking to make Microservices more easier. More than 40 feature ideas (https://github.com/dromara/soul/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22type%3A+new+feature%22+is%3Aclosed) come from Yuking community.
The rapid growth of Yuking community is empowered by open source. We believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for Yuking, as it provides an established process for community-driven development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the model we want for future Yuking development.
Current Status Meritocracy
Yuking was incubated in 2017 and open sourced on GitHub in 2018. Once open sourced, Yuking has been quickly adopted by multiple organization. We have set up the PMC and Committer. New contributors are guided and reviewed by existed PMC members. When they are ready, PMC will start a vote to promote him/her to become a member of PMC or Committer. See the details See the details here(https://dromara.org/projects/soul/committer/). Contributions are always welcomed and highly valued.
Community
Now we have set development teams for Yuking respectively in Dromara.org, didiglobal, PerfMa, YY, and IBM. We hope to grow the base of contributors by inviting all those who offer contributions through The Apache Way. Right now, we make use of GitHub as code hosting as well as for community communication.
Core Developers
The core developers, including experienced open source developers and team leaders, have formed a group full of diversity.
Alignment
In the Microservices ecosystem, Yuking is a very popular high performance Microservices API gateway supports many RPC framework including Apache Dubbo. We believe that it will help the further growth of Microservices community by having Yuking and Dubbo aligned within Apache foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache communities (such as Zookeeper).
Known Risks
Project Name
Current project name is Soul, will change it to Yuking after it is accepted by the Incubator.
Orphaned Products
The risk of the Yuking project being abandoned is minimal. There are at least 40 organizations (JD, didiglobal, PerfMa, YY, CHINA TELECOM, IBM, STATE GRID etc.) are highly incentivized to continue development. Many of these organizations have built critical business applications upon Yuking, and have devoted significant internal infrastructure investment in Yuking.
Inexperience with Open Source
As mentioned in Core Developers section, the core developers all work for companies that have developed or contributed to many open source projects. There are at least four PMC members from other Apache projects together with members of other famous community.
Therefore, we believe we have enough experience to deal with open source.
Homogenous Developers
The current core developers work across a variety of organizations including Dromara.org, didiglobal, PerfMa, YY; some individual developers are accepted as core developers of Yuking as well. Yuking has an active community of developers, and we are committed to recruiting additional committers based on their contributions to the project.
Reliance on Salaried Developers
It is expected that Yuking development will occur on both salaried time and on volunteer time, after hours. The majority of initial committers are paid by their employer to contribute to this project. However, they are all passionate about the project, and we are confident that the project will continue even if no salaried developers contribute to the project. We are committed to recruiting additional committers including non-salaried developers.
Relationships with Other Apache Products
Yuking is closely integrated with Dubbo, Zookeeper, Curator, Shiro and commons in numerous ways.
Yuking integrates Apache Zookeeper as one of the service registration/discovery mechanisms. Yuking is deeply integrated with Apache Dubbo and supports its protocol.
To some extent, Yuking has overlapping goals with the ASF existing API gateway APISIX, but they are in different ecological niche. APISIX is written by Lua and Perl with technical architecture Nginx + etcd, while Yuking is written by Java. Yuking can be conveniently integrated with the RPC framework in the Java ecosystem.
An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand
We acknowledge the value and reputation that the Apache brand would bring to Yuking. However, our primary interest is in the excellent community provided by Apache Software Foundation, in which all the projects could gain stability for long-term development.
Documentation
A complete set of Yuking documentations is provided in both English and Simplified Chinese. The project will be renamed to Yuking when migrating.
Initial Source
The project consists of three distinct codebases: core, dashboard and document. The address of three existed Git repositories are as follows:
Initial Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan
As soon as Yuking is approved to join Apache Incubator, the Initial committers will submit ICLA(s). The code is already licensed under the Apache Software License, version 2.0.
External Dependencies
As all backend codes dependencies are managed using Apache Maven, none of the external libraries need to be packaged in a source distribution.
Most of dependencies have Apache compatible licenses,and the detail as follows:

Mailing lists
Git Repositories:
Issue Tracking
The community would like to continue using GitHub Issues.
