I don't think there is any Incubator rule on the minimum initial committers but I've been part of the Incubator for over 6 years and don't recall there ever being a poddling accepted with only a single initial committer and i do recall several occasions where single committer projects have been suggested to go elsewhere to grow their community before trying to be an Incubator poddling. The Incubator is mainly about learning about community building which is quite different from Lab work so i don't think the Incubator is very appropriate for most labs. I also think its quite reasonable to want to do releases of lab code as part of the innovation process. There are some signs that some Labs PMC people are starting to think this might be ok, i think its just going to take some time. ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
