It seems to me that for a succinct mission statement we can go back to the
2002 Board resolution which established the Incubator:
http://incubator.apache.org/official/resolution.html
[...] accepting new products into the Foundation, providing guidance and
support to help each new product engender their own collaborative
community, educating new developers in the philosophy and guidelines for
collaborative development as defined by the members of the Foundation, and
proposing to the board the promotion of such products to independent PMC
status once their community has reached maturity.
I've argued recently that the Incubator is doing its job well:
The Incubator is a stable platform, and it has been functioning well by
historical terms, and with blessedly low drama compared to a few years
ago. My impression is that frustration with the institutional resistance
of Incubator to change is skewing impressions of how well it is doing its
job of incubating podlings.
When I refer to the Incubator's job as "incubating podlings", I mean
everything in that excerpt from the resolution above.
