> How is it to be done? > Ditch the incubator bureaucracy entirely and have the sponsoring member go into the community, show them the light and then demonstrate to the PMC or governance body (board/members whatever) that the project has a strong community and follows the rules and audits the licensing issues. The burden of proof should be on the community and not the accepting PMC or governance body. From there someone should be responsible for divying out enough permission to get their site up, lists created and CVS set up.
Until the project is accepted, it should not be protected by the foundation. Protecting ultimately unacceptable projects is NOT in the foundations best interest and therefore it shouldn't be divvying out resources to such projects. -Andy > Shoot. -- Andrew C.
