Committing somewhere would be good as otherwise I don't know whether I need to suggest the following (I wasn't sure of the best thread for this to go in anyway):

   May I suggest that, where appropriate, the documentation is backed
   up with pointers to examples of existing projects that are
   considered to represent the current best practice on various
   aspects. Whilst clear documentation is fantastic, there is nothing
   like good examples for building confidence that one is doing things
   in the right way.

Cheers,
    Gary

Hi,

Like others, I'm not too happy with the current
http://incubator.apache.org/ content.

How about starting a new, minimal set of docs that are more
maintainable and understandable?

IMO, the following would be sufficient, with one page per topic:

1. What's the Apache Incubator? (homepage)
2. Lifecycle of a podling, from proposal to graduation, with many
links to existing examples (proposals, committer votes, graduation
threads, etc.)
3. Release checklist: criteria for approving a release
4. Previously asked questions (a la
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html, includes IP clearance info)
6. Glossary of terms (though that might belong to the top-level
apache.org site instead)

I'm just considering the narrative info, not the podling status pages
or clutch stuff in this refactoring. That status info might move to
podlings.incubator.apache.org to better separate it and keep the main
site minimal.

I've got some draft content for 2. and 3., that I've been collecting
in my mentoring activities.

WDYT?

-Bertrand
