The board should not be in the business of micromanaging the Incubator. It should be the Incubator itself that asks for individual podling reports. Recent feedback to the Incubator PMC from the board on from the published reports[1]: 16 Nov 2011: failure of the Incubator to police the lack of attention by mentors on projects that have been incubating for years 26 Oct 2011: focus on graduation 20 Jul 2011: ensure that long running incubating projects actually have a plausible plan to graduate - Sam Ruby [1] http://www.apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html (excerpted here: https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Incubator.html) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
