I think there is very little missing to graduate soon but there is one
important non-technical reason I think the DS team should put some more
effort into before graduation: marketing. May sound lame but it was already
mentioned that there is little "technical" benefit for graduation other
then artifact naming.
Graduation is a one time event that provides a significant "marketing"
boost to the project to make people aware of it. Now what does somebody do
who first hears about a project? He takes a look at the project site and
maybe browses its feature list and examples to get an idea if it is of
interes/benefit to him/her or not. If there is no or little content to
browse then a person will loose interest after a few clicks around and that
would be a greate waste of the graduation "marketing" event.
And that is exactly were DS needs improvement: the project page. It needs
documentation, comprehensive feature list, a clear roadmap, maybe links to
blogs about the features and how to use them, cockbook/snippets, etc.
I noticed that recently lots of content was added and that is exactly what
is required to get more people interested and keep them for more the 3-4
clicks on the site.
So IMHO there is less need to add new code or enhance existing features
before graduation but complete docs on the stuff that is already there and
a roadmap on what is planned to make full use of the traction you get from
graduation.
Just my 2 cents...
