Dave,
I'm hoping most projects are represented on this discuss list.
However, I'll also be contacting all our OSGeo Live project contact
people in the next couple of days as we kick off the OSGeo Live build
process. I'll make sure that each project can comment on the "Project
Overview" which includes the project rating criteria.

One suggestion - since there is a lot of concern about the idea of
"rating" projects, maybe the PSCs of each of the projects should be
consulted before going ahead with this? After all -- it's for each of
these projects' benefits that this is being considered, and if the
various PSC consensus is this is not a good idea .. it should probably
carry a lot of weight.

(Along those lines, I'd also ask precisely what "ready to start" incubation
means...)
"Ready to start incubation" implies that projects that have applied
for, or are mature enough to apply, can be ranked at the same level
as projects in incubation.
I propose we use OSGeo's criteria for selecting incubation candidates
here:
http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html
(At some point we should revisit OSGeo's checklists, but lets leave
that for another email thread and for the moment we use what we have).

Criteria
1. The code is under an OSI approved license (data & doc projects
need to specify their choice for a type of license).
2. The project is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances
3. The project is "geospatial", or directly in support of
geospatial applications.
Desirable
The following are desirable traits of projects entering into the
community:
1. Open source software is already reasonably mature (working
quality code).
2. Project already has a substantial user community.
3. Project already has a substantial and diverse developer community.
4. Project members are aware of, and implements support for,
relevant standards (ie. OGC, etc).
5. Project has linkages with existing foundation projects.
6. Project fills a gap related to software that the foundation
supports.
7. Project is prepared to develop in an open and collaborative
fashion.
8. Project has contributions and interest from more than just one
company/organization.
9. Project is willing to migrate some or all of its infrastructure
(code repository, web site, wiki, mailing list, etc) to
foundation support infrastructure, and to adopt a website style
consistent with the foundation.
