<p class=MsoNormal><br>
"Ready to start incubation" implies that projects that have applied
for, or are mature enough to apply, can be ranked at the same level as projects
in incubation.<br>
<br>
I propose we use OSGeo's criteria for selecting incubation candidates here:<br>
<a href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html</a><br>
<br>
(At some point we should revisit OSGeo's checklists, but lets leave that for
another email thread and for the moment we use what we have).<br>
