I don't understand this, any proposal is going to need some mentors
to
get accepted, so if there members of the IPMC are willing to oversee
this, why would you want to add an additional requirement of existing
committers? I thought the idea to incubator was "low entry barrier,
high exit barrier"....
I was imagining a bunch of unknown people coming up with a vague idea
for a project, and no code...to that would seem too risky to warrant
dedicating resources to a podling.
Now, if mentors were enthusiastic about that podling, why not...that's
kind of a rethorical question anyway, as in the present case Noah
indicates that there is a group of experienced people.
Let's see their proposal then, but from what I've seen in this thread
I'm positive about it.
I agree. If unknown people can generate enough interest from mentors
to get them to volunteer why stop them. OTOH, I would suggest that
mentors should be extra cautious in accepting and particularly
watchful as the project starts.
