I don't know what to do about this. At the least
i thought to send this mail because the Forrest PMC
should be aware that there is something happening that
could be damaging for our project. People are gumbling.
We need to encourage them to grumble on ur users lists not on unrelated
lists. I was not aware, until comments were made on other lists, of any
problems within Incubator (interestingly there were positive commets
from the XML people).
That doesn't seem to happen. Many of the grumbles
do happen on other lists.
Then an education drive is needed, we can't help users if we can't hear
them. It is not reasonable to expect us to listen to their lists.
We need to look at ways of making it more user-friendly.
It is obviously not easy or the incubator.apache.org
issues would not arise.
I am going to join the incubator list next week and try and work out
what is happening.
I started:

"simplifying the generation of Incubator website"
One major issue has already been identified. I will start
a separate thread here on forrest-dev for that.
I've taken an unexpected working holiday, probably won't join in till
next week now, however, I will be there and I am monitoring tis list.
