and see to bring XMLBeans where people can actually help them out. Apart from Nicola's apparent efforts in keeping the Incubator alive, most of the real action is done by infrastructure peeps, and the dispersed shepherds of incubating projects, most of them assumably under the umbrella of the XML/Jakarta PMC. Let's keep it that way, and keep the incubating projects close to an active PMC.
But being careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water. I would have said there is real value in the Incubator defining and fleshing out a process that is used by the various PMCs for incubation. It might even oversite the process at a high level to ensure consistency accross all incoming projects.
I think there might also need to be someone to look after projects that are going to come in at the top level - i.e. not under the auspices of another Apache project. A lot of the current Incubator documentation focuses on that case.
(Harping on a subject) - a charter/mission statement would be good :>. The stuff on wiki is a first stab at roles and responsibilities - can we start with that and flesh out?
Cheers,
Berin
