This is very positive feedback. I'm glad we all agree! :) I believe next steps are as follows:
1. Start a discussion on the incubator-general list 2. Update the drill status xml file to accurately represent the current state of the community 3. Create a project charter document 4. Complete a PPMC vote 5. Complete a IPMC vote >From there, we can work through some additional steps that can be read about here [1] I'd love some help on items 2 and 3 from other committers. I can start item one above. Once discussion seems to have gone well, I will start the vote on this list.
