As a first step, I took a look at the remaining work items on our status page that need to be completed and updated the dates for the ones we have finished, but had not recorded. That leaves us with the following list of items: * Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product. * If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted. * Ask infrastructure to set up wiki (Confluence, Moin). * Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright. Before we do anything related to graduation, I think we need to make sure all of these items are crossed off the TODO list. -Matt >Thanks for prompting the discussion.
