As i start there's the Incubator policy doc which has some minimum
graduation requirements which I'll cutNpaste here:
The minimum requirements that a Podling SHALL meet prior to being
graduated to the ASF are :
* Legal
*
o All code ASL'ed
o The code base must contain only ASL or ASL-compatible dependencies
o License grant complete
o CLAs on file.
o Check of project name for trademark issues
* Meritocracy / Community
*
o Demonstrate an active and diverse development community
o The project is not highly dependent on any single
contributor (there are at least 3 legally independent committers and
there is no single company or entity that is vital to the success of
the project)
o The above implies that new committers are admitted
according to ASF practices
o ASF style voting has been adopted and is standard practice
o Demonstrate ability to tolerate and resolve conflict
within the community.
o Release plans are developed and excuted in public by the community.
o
+ (requirement on minimum number of such releases?)
+ Note: incubator projects are not permitted to issue
an official Release. Test snapshots (however good the quality) and
Release plans are OK.
o Engagement by the incubated community with the other ASF
communities, particularly infrastructure@ (this reflects my personal
bias that projects should pay an nfrastructure "tax").
o Incubator PMC has voted for graduation
o Destination PMC, or ASF Board for a TLP, has voted for
final acceptance
* Alignment / Synergy
*
o Use of other ASF subprojects
o Develop synergistic relationship with other ASF subprojects
* Infrastructure
*
o SVN module has been created
o Mailing list(s) have been created
o Mailing lists are being archived
o Issue tracker has been created
o Project website has been created
o Project ready to comply with ASF mirroring guidelines
o Project is integrated with GUMP if appropriate
o Releases are PGP signed by a member of the community
o Developers tied into ASF PGP web of trust

Thats not a completely accurate picture of all the current views of
the active Incubator PMC but its a good place to start, how does
Cassandra look wrt that list?
