I've drafted proposed updates to Incubation docs, to align with the Project Graduation Checklist, primarily to remove implied preference for using OSGeo infrastructure.<br><br>
Application Questionnaire:<br><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubator_Application_Questionnaire">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubator_Application_Questionnaire</a><br><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Incubator_Application_Questionnaire&action=historysubmit&diff=75900&oldid=75899">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Incubator_Application_Questionnaire&action=historysubmit&diff=75900&oldid=75899</a><br><br>

I suggest that if there are no objections within a week or 2, we should vote to approve these updated versions of the docs.<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><br>
