David Fisher commented on INCUBATOR-231:
----------------------------------------

I am not sure if I agree on moving everything to git. I think that the parts 
that are foundation records should remain in SVN.

Records would be:
 # /content/podlings.xml (or whatever the successor to that would be.)
 # /content/(podlings or projects)/(project).(xml or yml) (or whatever we 
determine is the source of record for podling status.)
 # /content/ip-clearance/

I think that we should reach out to Whimsy team to help with UI for updating 
these records once we determine the final format. 

Processes should certainly move:
 # Clutch update scripts which do the following.
 ** Build pickle file of podling status
 ** Create data for various pages in the Incubator Site.
 ** Create data for emailed status and reporting process.
 # Reporting scripts
 ** Email reminders.
 ** Monthly Report Template updated for Confluence.
 ** New: Email podling dev sites their "Clutch view monthly"
 # New pages
 ** Podling status page (includes a version for retired and graduated podlings.)
 ** Podling listing page with current, graduated and retired podlings.
 ** Clutch page with status of current podlings. Status should reflect the 
steps on podling has accomplished on their way towards graduation. Perhaps code 
is shared with Whimsy.
 ** IP Clearance page.
 # New scripts
 ** Create podling status files and clutch entry.
 ** Retire podling to update status and clutch.
 ** Graduate podling to update status and clutch.
 ** Memorialize podling LDAP and Mentors in status when graduating or retiring.

Before we proceed in a small incremental way with this large undertaking we 
need to determine what format we wish to use for podling status. Choices 
include:
 # XML.
 # YML.
 # Doap / RDF.

Goals for these changes should be to:
 # Better serve podlings by making status and expectations part of the workflow.
 # Better serve mentors by easing their tasks to limit the amount of Incubator 
redcap and semisecret records they need to learn.
 # Better streamline the process so that a podling's transition to TLP is eased.

> [http://incubator.apache.org/] is generated from 
> [https://github.com/apache/incubator] but a few things (clutch, project 
> pages) are still maintained under 
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/]
> We should cleanup and unify for consistency, and there's a number of folders 
> in svn that are not used anymore. Everything should move to Git to avoid 
> confusion.
> Also, a lot of the projects information in the XML files found under 
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/projects/] is 
> duplicated in other places, LDAP, podlings websites etc - it would be good to 
> clean that up and simplify those pages to adapt to our current workflows, 
> while preserving history where it makes sense.
> There are also YAML files with yet more duplicated information at 
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/podlings/] , 
> not sure if that's used or useful.
