+1 IMHO we need to start addressing this. the landing pages for the press (and other media organisations) and analysts needs to contain information about the incubator. the disclaimer in the releases is good and there are a lot talks at conferences about the incubator so i'm reasonably confident that we're doing ok with the grassroots. it's the mainstream media and analysts that worry me.
If that's the case then someone should change the docs,
there are plenty of improvements needed to the docs but there are only a few people willing to step up and create patches at the moment.
since that's totally not how I read it.
i read it as referring to self-promotion by those associated with the podling
Judging from what's there now, just using the link to incubator.a.o seems like it should be totally sufficient.
perhaps we need to add a section aimed at downstream organizations explaining our attitude to incubating podlings (which is summed up pretty well in the release disclaimer) and asking them to help educate their users. i'm agnostic about mandating a particular method for doing so. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
