= How Long Does Incubation Take? =

There is no "hard" answer to that, and no rules. We've had a project go through 
incubation in 2 weeks, one do it in 6 months, another in 7 months. Others take 
a year or more. The incubator has some entry criteria and some exit criteria 
(see the [http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html policy 
docs]). Any project that satisfies the entry criteria can enter, any project 
that satisfies the exit criteria can (will) exit.

What lies in between? If all goes well, we see some (difficult-to-measure) 
"progress" over time towards a project meeting the exit criteria. While the 
time a project spends in the incubator is not indefinite, as long as there is 
progress, there's no artificial deadline.
