1. I have updated the home page to have the disclaimer line and link to status page
I just took a quick look at what other podling home pages have. It looks to me like most of them include the Incubator logo (see http://incubator.apache.org/images/apache-incubator-logo.png). I think you should definitely add this somewhere. Some of them also include the full disclaimer text on the home page like http://incubator.apache.org/ode/. Some of them include both the logo and the disclaimer text, like http://incubator.apache.org/xap and http://incubator.apache.org/uima/.
2. The license has been added to the project.
There seems to be an emoticon from the "(i)" in the license text. You could always link directly to http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0, although that would leave your site. And I don't think this is necessary right now; but, as I mentioned before, it would be nice to eventually link to something that includes all the relevant licenses, as is required in the distribution's LICENSE file.
3. I have created the people page. I used the Geronimo template and modified a bit given our incubator status. Please update your origination if you want it. I got the list of names by working though the achieve to see who has substantial contributed (definition of this could be debated, but I just looked for consistent list & code contributions). I also provided a section for those that are contributing but are not committers yet, or may chose not to become committers. Names are in alphabetical order by first name - just copied format from Geronimo. An then of coarse list our mentors.
I realize that you are basing this on what Geronimo has done, but personally, I think it's a bad idea to list the organizations on the project's people page. Most people seem to want to know this on the proposal, but I think it might send the wrong message to someone who doesn't know much about Apache and is browsing the project's site. It also seems to be a little tricky to me to decide which committers to list. Unless a committer says they are no longer active or don't want to be listed, I would think you should list them all. You could keep a separate list of PPMC members (which were elected based on their history as being the active committers). Aside from getting the Incubator logo on the page (which I think really does need to be done), all of this is just my personal suggestion. Cliff
