That's a nice summary of what the goal of having an incubator is. Something I
personally would love to know is what other projects having gone through the
process think of it's benefits and drawbacks, what really was it that changed
on their journey through the incubator and into being a tlp.
Carin (or anyone else really), with the 20th anniversary of the ASF coming up -
would you mind starting a thread on the topic over at dev@community and reach
out to other projects (both recently graduated and well established and
popular) and look for some answers to the question? Would be great if others on
this list could help with gathering that information...
