"Your report should contain the following: * Your project name * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the project or necessarily of its field * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation. * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be aware of * How has the community developed since the last report * How has the project developed since the last report." I converted the questions into headers. I don't think that is required. We could take a more narrative approach if we wanted. Rather than say "Not applicable" for the "since the last report" questions, I thought it would be more useful to respond in terms of what we've done since we started. > Alexandro, will you be making the changes along the lines you suggest? > Please do, anyone who has suggested changes.
