I think that the 5th point needs to stay included, for a while at
least.<br>
<br>
Adding the requirement for training aspects to a project may be
somewhat off-putting to potential new projects. It also seems
somewhat hard to define, how much training materials are enough, I
would imagine they are different per project too. I think always
having that loftier goal on top (5 Star rating) is a good thing,
even if not all project attain it.<br>

<pre wrap="">Cameron, I do not like your (or marketing's) proposal - it seems to
me, it's too towards-incubation oriented. But it has some important
details. I also think, 4 and 5 should be merged.
I propose following version:
1 - Project has name, OSI license, header files are clean, can be in beta stage
2 - Project is stable, produces (or produced in the past) stable releases
3 - Project has Stable Software, a Stable community, is deployed in
production systems, and is ready to pass criteria to enter incubation,
as per:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html</a>
4 - Project has passed osgeo incubation, it also includes bundled
software, regular builds, security updates, training, etc.
comments?

<pre wrap="">We discussed a 5 star maturity rating in 2010. I still like the idea, but it
was contentious at the time, especially with projects which would rank low
on the rating, and it was eventually dropped in favour of using just
"Incubated"/"Incubating" as more politically acceptable.
This is what we proposed:

Maturity Rating
Description A 5 star rating system to qualify the how established a project
is. Rating is to be broken down as follows:
5 stars: This rating is yet to be defined, and will not be allocated to
projects yet. Project includes bundled software, regular builds, security
updates, training, etc.
4 stars (mature): Project has passed osgeo incubation as per:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html</a>
3.5 stars: Not to be used yet, but may later be introduced for projects
which have entered incubation.
3 stars (established): Project has Stable Software, a Stable community, is
deployed in production systems, and is ready to pass criteria to enter
incubation, as per:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html</a>
2 stars (stable): Project has Stable Software.
Project produces periodic releases of stable software which is used in
production systems.
1 star (beta): Project has Beta software.

Or
level 1 - project (name, license, headers)
level 2 - code clean checked
level 3 - steering committee
level 4 - ...
level 5 - community, mature osgeo project
drift between levels is possible both ways (you lost community e.g.)
I really like this idea...
jody could give more insight view
