Greets,
I'm mostly done overhauling[1] the Incubator's Retirement Guide.
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement
There are a couple items left.
First, is the DOAP file.
* If it is to be updated, how so? If we use
http://attic.apache.org/process.html#doap as a template, how should it be
adapted?
* When a podling retires, we zap its website and redirect to the podling
status page. If the DOAP file lived on the podling website, it's going
away, too. What do we do about that?
For volunteers who are executing the steps to retirement, figuring out what to
do about the DOAP file is a time sink. If we can't come up with concrete
steps that someone who knows nearly nothing about DOAP files can execute, I
propose to delete that task -- otherwise, it's not fair to the volunteer
handling the often-thankless work of retirement.
Second, there's a task to remove the podling mailing lists from the incubation
status page. I don't think this is important and if there are no objections,
I propose to remove that task.

Rework "steps to retirement".
Group like tasks together. Use a combination of numbered and bullet
lists, plus improve formatting in other ways. Adapt for "version
control" rather than "SVN", as well as other vocabulary changes.

Streamline explanation of decision to retire.
Move the explanation of the decision to retire into its own dedicated
section. Simplify this explanation considerably.
As a side effect, the remaining text under "What is retirement" becomes
more succinct.
