+<p>The <strong>Apache Project Maturity Model</strong> provides a suggested
framework for evaluating the overall maturity of an Apache project community
and the codebase that it maintains. While this model is specific to Apache
projects (i.e. hosted at the ASF) many of these factors are important for any
open source project.</p>

+<p>The goal of this maturity model is to describe how Apache projects operate,
in a concise and high-level way, and to provide a basic framework that projects
may choose to use to evaluate themselves.</p>
<p>It is meant to be usable outside of Apache as well, for projects that might
want to adopt some or all of these principles. Projects that envision moving to
Apache at some point might start working towards this to prepare for their
move.</p>
<p>It does not describe all the details of how our projects operate, but aims
to capture the invariants of Apache projects and point to additional
information where needed. To keep the main model as concise as possible we use
footnotes for anything that's not part of the core model.</p>
<p>Contrary to other maturity models, we do not define staged partial
compliance levels. A mature Apache project complies with all the elements of
this model, and other projects are welcome to pick and choose the elements that
suit their goals.</p>
-<p>Note that we try to avoid using the word "must" below. The model describes
the state of a mature project, as opposed to a set of rules. </p>
+<p>Note that we try to avoid using the word "must" below. The model describes
the state of a mature project, as opposed to a set of rules. Newer projects in
the Incubator might not fit into all the parts of this model; however part of
the process of Incubation should tend to move their community behavior to fit
the model.</p>
