Ah. Excllent point, which I hadn't considered. I completely agree. The point which I've made in the past, but would like to reiterate is that I see the Incubator as a logistics manager for incoming projects. Not as a training ground. The future TLP is the training ground simply on the basis that it will be providing oversight to the incoming codebase. For totally new projects with no destination? Then I honestly have no idea how to provide the "training" for those people. I don't believe the Incubator can do it, but I'm also not going to even try to obstruct others who feel it is (I'd just hope people provide due consideration to whether the Incubator is the right approach). i.e. within my time constraints, I'd happily participate in verifying that logistical requirements have been met, but "training" is too amorphous for me to deal with properly [in this context].
