The absence of clear documentation harms projects both during and after incubation. For example, when a project transgresses against some aspect of Apache policy, PMC members may not speak out because they don't feel confident that they grok our muddled rules well enough to argue the point -- even though they were trained on them during incubation. Many people around the Foundation have unreasonable expectations about the Incubator's ability to assure good behavior in perpetuity for its graduates. Meanwhile, the abominable state of our policy documentation goes unnoticed. Marvin Humphrey
