- rules and guidelines for incubating projects, w.r.t. PMC participation, cohabitation with Incubator guidelines
I would say that we remove that paragraph and avoid dealing with it altogether.
the part of new subprojects as well. if somebody asks, we send them to incubation right away.
If the concept and process of incubation is properly defined and offers more than bouncing off the ball to the incubating PMC, I would be perfectly happy with that. So far, I think it is reasonable to say that the Incubator is still FUD with the prospect of becoming something valuable. Also, I loath to see projects being incubated without a clear destination PMC in mind. While you are absolutely correct in theory, practice is teaching us something else, so I'd like to discuss this before moving either way. Off-loading work to a disfunctional project isn't a way to get the work done. Closely collaborating with the Incubator might be better, IMHO.
well, too much mentioning of vetos, IMHO, but I can live with that.
Exactly - I will try and wordsmith along that way. Vetos are community killers and a discourse of distrust.
