Whatever, I would like to achieve:
1 - attract more projects to osgeo umbrella 2 - attract little projects to osgeo umbrella 3 - define, what should happen after successful incubation, because I do not believe in "and lived happily ever after" - to become the project, certain level (checklist) has to be reached. But what if the project looses it's community?
