Great idea. This spring I sent out personal messages to various podling members and asked them what they thought were problems with the incubator, if there were any. (There's a novel idea, ask the podlings what they think the problems are. Sorry, but slogging through all these emails instead of watching re-runs of Firefly irritates me. :) ) I got an earful. Other than their concern for diversity/activity, the two biggest reported problems are timely resolution "infrastructure" requests and they way we seem to chronically make up and debase shit in the middle of voting. As a podling incubates we seem to compulsively debate processes, rules, etc., ten feet ahead of the podling train. We're working on the automation bits. Your document on what podlings can expect, in terms of to expect and what "noise" they can ignore during incubation would be fantastic. I will commit to helping you out with this.
