Pomp? .. I do not think "it" is pomp. What makes "it" pomp might be the intentions/hearts of the interested parties. I would like to see the "cheerful"/"considerate" incubation. However, > The Incubator's purpose is to ensure that projects coming into the ASF > - are legally clean, > - that their communities are healthy, > - and that they follow basic ASF policies/procedures. I agree with this, too. IMHO, the problem seems that the last two purposes listed here can not be measured in scientific way. Also, i am afraid it that 99% of the participants in incubator would be not laywers. How can you, non-laywers, judge whether XYZ project is legally clean/safe or not, by the way? (Sorry for such a childish question) ... Incubator project PMC has at least three laywers? Also, I'd like to know why there could be a lot of "far from beta" projects in incubator. (Really are they "far from beta"?) I am happy to see the "nurturing" incubation process & projects, which can be also suitable for http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Points/ http://www.w3.org/2003/06/Process-20030618/ -- From the stand point of the "affinity" to the other apache.org projects ...: I think it that it takes over a month. First Step: "Accredited ASF Sister Project" (1) Second Step: "Incubated Project" (2) Third Step: "ASF Project" (3) ... *maybe* this is good. (not sure) ... I think it that XYZ project coming to apache can get "affinity" to the other apache.org projects during (1) process/step. (1) would not have to do with legal issues. -- Thank you for reading. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tetsuya Kitahata -- Terra-International, Inc.
