Move from the original wiki New Page: This document is in discussion; comments on [email protected] are welcome Issues: * maybe it's better to list project resources as a table * the action items are stated as questions: is it ok? * maybe it's better if with __DONE__ they add the name of the person saying so (CVS history is impractical) and add at least a reference to what may prove it (for some action items) * the project resources should only list the resources or also explain how to join? IMHO it's up to the project website to add this information, as these are listed only for incubation needs. ---- = Project XXX = *Description *News *Project resources *Incubation status reports *Incubation work items = Description = Project XXX is a wonderful WonkaProject that does things and goes places. = News = == YYYY-MM-DD == This is what has happeded on YYYY-MM-DD... blah... blah... == YYYY-MM-D2 == This is what has happeded on YYYY-MM-D2... blah... blah... = Project resources = == Website == The project website can be found here [http://projectx.apache.org/ http://projectx.apache.org/]. The wiki Project X is at [http://wiki.apache.org/projectx/ http://wiki.apache.org/projectx/] == Mailing lists == * dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == Bug tracking == * [link] == VCS == CVS module = Incubation status reports = == YYYY-MM-DD == This is what has happeded about incubation till YYYY-MM-DD... blah... blah... = Incubation work items = == Project Setup == === Identify the project to be incubated === * Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product. * If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names. * If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance. * If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted. === Interim responsibility === * Who has been identified as the Mentor for the incubation? Name Name * Have all possible Mentors been asked to become so? * Are all Mentors on the pmc and general lists? * Are they tracking progress in the file incubator/projects/{project_name}/status.cwiki or incubator/projects/{project_name}.cwiki === Copyright === * Have the papers that transfer rights to the ASF been received? It is only necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project. *Have the files that have been donated, updated to reflect the new ASF copyright? === Verify distribution rights === *For all code included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, do we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute? * Is all source code distributed by the project covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms? === Establish a list of active committers === *Are all active committers in the STATUS file? *Do they have accounts on cvs.apache.org? *Have they submitted a contributors agreement? === Infrastructure === *CVS modules created and committers added to avail file? *Mailing lists set up and archived? *Problem tracking system (Bugzilla)? *Has the project migrated to our infrastructure? == Incubation == === Collaborative Development === * Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? * Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.) *Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? *Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? == Exit == === Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project === *If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it? *If graduating to a new PMC, has the board voted to accept it? === Incubator sign-off === *Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of the above tasks? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
