I don't have experience at all with graduation but, in my opinion, if droids community becomes stronger and more constant, the graduation will automatically happened after a while. Personally, I think the necessary steps to increase the activity around Droids are:
- having a release process - improving the documentation - cleaning the codebase We all have a difficulties to find time to perform these actions and it's time consuming to describe a problem, wait two weeks for having few feedbacks and then correcting the issue. Furthermore, cleaning the codebase is difficult because it imply to move out of the trunk parts of the project on which people worked hard. If there is a will to improve Droids I think we should block one or two days to perform these steps together. That's only my opinion but I hope it can helps.
