There are some other unresolved technical issues making incubation premature based on our new incubation requirements. They've made some nice progress on them already, though. There's a list here [1]. We've seen in the past that denying incubation didn't do much to help with visibility and participation. I think creating a program is a nice compromise. It lets us officially bless a mission and creates a place for people helping accomplish that mission to come together. Hopefully this would give other groups more confidence to jump in and start participating.
