To be frank, I have no idea what LLC is. Well I do know what it stands for, but how is becoming an LLC would actually cover the expenses? Does it mean letting people donate? Something else?
As for becoming an ASF incubation project. I do have mixed feelings about it. Although I do tend to like the idea in genenral. Indeed, having the project under the umbrella of an establishement like the ASF is great. On the other hand, I am concernd about the technical limitation which that might present. The option between two, rather painless and least-usable, bug trackers is just one. I'd be thankful if someone can share with us (or link to) some littrature that puts more details into what it's like to be in an ASF incubator.
