<p dir="ltr">Hi all,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Could some answer what is the % of the ponderation weight of software quality and the % of the ponderation weight of the project organization in incubation decision?</p>
<p dir="ltr">The first criteria is technologicaly measureable.<br>
The second is not.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Your evaluation method open the following possibilities:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Never accept a new project with high quality software but a lower evaluation of the project comunity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Accept low quality of software with high project comunity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Accept a project with high comunity evaluation but with old or deprecated software.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, to me, seems that you are giving too much weight on the social aspect (hardly measurable) of the project, instead of giving weight to software quality (technologicaly measurable) which is fundamental to your criteria of being for production :)</p>

<p dir="ltr">I think you have missed the point of my tales, both the projects that I wrote about are open source (by any definition) but only the one with an open organisation is thriving. </p>
<p dir="ltr">OSGeo is designed to support open and sustainable development of geospatial solutions. A benevolent dictatorship is a fragile model of governance and so can not be acceptable to us as a foundation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The (perceived) quality of the software is of no importance in this discussion if the project fails due to a lack of community. </p>

<p dir="ltr">PS open hub notes geotools has 241 contributors if we are measuring success in these metrics. <br>

<p dir="ltr">Aha! So there is a ponderation weight on software quality evaluation AND project organization evaluation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So you can exclude an open source software with high quality if their organization evaluation is low.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For me that seems wrong. A software on a public repository is only limited by it's licence terms, or unlimited at all. :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers</p>

<p dir="ltr">Once the software (as an object) is available on a public repository, it only matters it's license terms to evaluate it's restrictions. From there, it is irrelevant "whos behind it".</p></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Here I have to strongly disagree. Imho, the job of OSGeo incubation is to evaluate a software project (software and organisation) therefore it makes no sense to limit discussions to software quality.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Best wishes,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Anita</div><br></div><div> </div></div></div></div>
