I think it would be good and wait until the original reporter identifies what the specific infraction is and what its cure is. One part of the complaint is how AOOi is mentioned in tweets by @TheASF. Those are not, as far as I am aware, anything under our control whatsoever.
I would not dispense with full atom feeds. Having "(incubating)" used at the beginning of a post, even with a link to what that entails, could be useful. Whether it needs to be in the title or not remains to be seen. Of course, whatever the practice is asserted to be, it will need to be honored by all incubating projects, of course. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2012 08:40 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Must use the incubating qualifier On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 9:53 AM, drew jensen <drewjensen.in...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, 2012-06-23 at 09:51 -0400, Rob Weir wrote: >> On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 9:48 AM, drew <d...@baseanswers.com> wrote: >> > On Sat, 2012-06-23 at 08:52 -0400, Rob Weir wrote: >> >> On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 8:41 AM, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: >> >> > On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 5:58 AM, Ross Gardler >> >> > <rgard...@opendirective.com> wrote: >> >> >> It has been pointed out on the general list that AOO is not always >> >> >> using >> >> >> the incubating qualifier.

On the second one, I think the remedy might be get the incubation notice into the post ("entry") titles. It may be possible to do this automatically (per my previous post), but it could be done manually as well. -Rob >> >> -Rob >> >> > >> > //drew >> > >> > <snip> >> > > >
