I saw Apache Incubator Board Reports coming from various
incubator projects, so I asked when we were expected to start
providing one for River (response below).
We'll need to start in March or April, and then be on a three
month rotating slot to provide status.
I'd lean towards starting in April, but March would work as well.
Thoughts?

Hi Jim,
When projects join the Incubator, they pick a rotation slot for
themselves from the reporting schedule at
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule. By "slot" I mean
which months they want to report on: Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct or
Feb/May/Aug/Nov or Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec. They're free to pick any slot.
In fact looking at the schedule now, I see River has yet to choose a
slot, so please pick one and go ahead and add yourself to the schedule
page.
The date of the first report is up to the project, with 3 months after
entering incubation probably being the latest acceptable date. Doing
it earlier, e.g. after 1 month or 2 months, is perfectly fine.
As for writing the report: in the best projects, it's a joint effort
openly discussed and collaborated upon. There's probably a point
person or one charged with making sure the report gets on the wiki
page on time, but the report should not be a surprise to any member of
the project.

Just curious (for the River project) -- when are projects
expected to start submitting Board reports? 3 months after
going into the incubator? And, who typically does the
report? A mentor, or just some designated person in the
project?
Thanks for your help.
