Thanks, Joe. That is correct: we did issue a very brief blog post when Groovy was submitted to the Incubator, primarily to explain what incubation meant.
There are two other occasions where this had happened: the first was for Subversion five years ago; the other was OpenOffice. Again, done in the rare instances where a well-established technology and community are coming to the ASF. I think having a Twitter handle for incubating projects would be great. Personally I prefer @ApacheIncubator, but that's clearly not a show-stopper. I appreciate you including us in the dialogue!

CC'ing press@ If I am not mistaken, we don't promote incubator releases, etc. from @TheASF as they are not yet TLPs. (Just as we do not issue press releases for them or do "official" press / marketing services for podlings until they graduate.) So - @ASFIncubator may be a good way to promote those projects until they're official.
