I think important thing to realize is that there's no rush and the project should graduate whenever the community has demonstrated its capacity for functioning under the principles of the Apache Way. Graduation has absolutely nothing to do with how polished the code is. Remember ASF's motto: "community over code". > People have been asking me does "incubating" > means the project is very immature. :( I think this is one of the misconceptions that we all need to actively take part in clearing: the projects in the incubator can be extremely mature as far as the software goes. You don't have to search for example too hard: OpenOffice and CloudStack readily come to mind. Both were extremely well established and respected pieces of software when they entered the incubator. Once again -- the quality of your code is important, but WAY less important than the quality of your community. There's plenty of excellent, beautifully crafted software projects on GitHub. Thanks, Roman.
