Perhaps you can "archive" them after a certain period of inactivity, but the incubator should allow project ideas to be revived and should give projects plenty of time to become active. There must be a carrot of course - the WMF should make some sort of statement about how successful a project should become, and what sorts of vision it might have, for them to commit more resources to it. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
