Hi Landon and others on the incubator list,<br>
<br>
Something touched on in the last board meeting was that our
incubation questionaires encourage incoming projects to make use of
OSGeo infrastructure.<br>
<br>
This was considered desirable when OSGeo was formed, but the
software development landscape has changed, and well maintained
infrastructure such as sourceforge and github is now available for
free, and arguably provides better value and better service than
volunteers at OSGeo can provide.<br>
<br>
The Project Graduation Checklist is now consistant with this revised
focus, however it would be valuable if the other documents, such as
Incubation Questionaire and Project Graduation Guidelines were
updated too.<br>
<br>
Eg revise from Project Graduation Guidelines: "
Project is willing to migrate some or all of its infrastructure
(code repository, web site, wiki, mailing list, etc) to foundation
support infrastructure, and to adopt a website style consistent with
the foundation."<br>
