Ok, whether to list any feedback about the project on the page is a yes/no decision, but at least it allows us to fully express why we find the project promising, what people need to help with in order for it to be incubated, etc. With a formal yes/no status, I think we'd struggle with projects which we're not quite ready to even bless with an "emerging" status but we still want to encourage them - this allows us to bless a project as "emerging" but be explicit about our level of support for it.I agree that being able to express our opinion on a project in shades of grey is valuable... The main drawback of using a non-boolean status for that is that you can't grant any benefit to it. So we'd not be able to say "emerging projects get design summit space". They can still collaborate in unconference space or around empty tables, but then we are back to the problem we are trying to solve: increase visibility of promising projects pre-incubation.Have an emerging projects track and leave it up to the track coordinator to decide prioritize the most interesting sessions and the most advanced projects (according to the TC's feedback) ?I guess that /could/ work. I don't expect we'll have space for more than one session per project, but that may be enough for self-organization if we nail the "collaboration spaces" correctly. I'm fine with giving that page a try (we can always revisit if it's not working any better...).
I'm not sure about the page as a medium for this but I like the idea. This is pretty much a way to incubate programs, which is basically what I proposed in my previous emails. Lets not consider Programs official right away, lets give them a place where they can grow a bit with the projects the have under their umbrella. Lets also - as Mark suggested - use that place to add comments and help them grow. And I'm also in favor of having a emerging projects track. +1 Cheers, FF -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
