The "LucyIncubatorProposal" page has been changed by MarvinHumphrey.
The comment on this change is: Replace "initial committers" with "core 
developers" in spots that will become incorrect if others join.  Trim 
"Inexperience with Open Source"..

  == Known Risks ==
  === Orphaned products ===
- All initial committers have been associated with the project for several 
years across multiple jobs.  However, at this time, the project would probably 
not survive the departure of Marvin Humphrey, so there is a risk of being 
orphaned.  Marvin has no plans to leave, but we have been actively working to 
disperse his knowledge of the code base and administrative responsibilities in 
order to make him dispensable.  Having staggered badly after Dave Balmain's 
departure, we are keenly aware of this vulnerability and highly motivated to 
eliminate it.

  === Inexperience with Open Source ===
- The initial committers have all have significant experience with open source 
development, and include one present Apache committer.  We recognize that we 
lack PMC experience and seek to address that deficiency by using the Incubator 
environment to educate ourselves and prepare for responsible self-governance.  
In retrospect, Marvin wishes that Lucy had gone through the Incubator during 
its first inception.
+ The core developers have all have significant experience with open source 
development, and include one present Apache committer.  We recognize that we

environment to educate ourselves and prepare for responsible self-governance.
  
  === Homogenous Developers ===
  Our community is geographically dispersed, with members in San Diego, 
Oakland, and Minneapolis.  We all work for different organizations.
