I was chatting with folks in the PonyMail Slack channel, and, to summarize, I believe that we have nothing whatsoever to gain by staying in the Incubator another minute, and that we are actively harming the Incubator’s reputation every month we stay there. Ten years in the incubator is absolutely absurd. We should graduate immediately.
I recognize that I have very little standing here, since I’ve done very little on the project, but with every hat I possess (member, former director, someone who cares about the Incubator, someone who cares about community development) I believe it’s dumb to stay in the Incubator. This project will *never* have a large and vibrant community. Mailing lists are old-school, and we have a VERY limited potential audience. That’s ok. And gating on “you haven’t build a big enough community” for graduation means that we will never graduate. Enough is enough. 10 years is goofy. I want to propose that we graduate immediately. Any objections to me shoving this through the process? —Rich
