Cameron, It is my opinion that it is sufficient for the project to accept the task of writing a project overview. I would be willing to commit to doing this for the project. There is a motion on the table, and if you feel that not currently having the project overview is sufficient grounds to hold up graduation it would be appropriate for you to vote -1 with an explanation to hold things up. I am not; however, going to withdraw the motion over this issue as I don't feel it is blocking. > If ok with you, I'd encourage you or someone to copy the incubation answers > below into a wiki or similar, so that we retain a more permanent record of > passing incubation. Once again, it had not been my expectation that we were supposed to provide in-advance answers to the checklist - that a completed incubation status report like: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GEOS_Incubation_Status is what is expected. If we want specific answers to everything in the checklist then it should be added to the status template. I continue to see the checklist as something mentors and incubation committee members should be reviewing when considering a project for graduation - and that might prompt specific questions. Many of my answers were already covered in the status document for instance. > My feeling is that the most thorough use of a checklist > is to have answers to each question (as you have done in an email) and > reviewers just need to check the answers, rather than try to work out > answers or email questions to a list to get the answers. Perhaps, but that is certainly a new process and I don't think it should be assumed.
