I noticed that you think the incubator PMC is responsible for doing the *work*
of incubation. That is a false assumption. The Incubator is a place where new
projects can be incubated. The contributors to the Incubator are those
people who want to accomplish incubation. Anyone can contribute. The PMC
exists solely for oversight of the process, not to implement the process.
I'm pretty sure _nobody_ thinks the incubator PMC is responsible for doing any actual incubation work, except for setting out the guidelines. Pardon me, but if they fail in doing that, and in the mean time prove to be counterproductive by shielding away documents from people who are actually helping incubating projects, well....
What kind of guidelines would you like to see?
1. After a PMC has approved acceptance of a project for incubation and in the mean time while you are waiting for infrastructure resources to be created, please hold your e-mail discussions in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. The necessary documents (CLA, software-grant, etc) are a location X. If location X is only accessible to a member, ask your shepherd to get them for you
3. The naming policy for project mailing lists, cvs-repos, etc is X
4. Here is what you can expect the incubator project to do, and here is what you have to do yourself.
What specific activities do you consider counterproductive, and how do you propose we improve them?
It would really help if stuff like 1-4 were decided and posted on the incubator site.
