      Hi Alvaro,<br>
      I agree that it would be great to announce gvSIG's graduation from
      OSGeo incubation at the gvSIG conference (on 4 Dec?), and I think
      it is also achievable, but require a quick turn around. I'd like
      to help you with that from the OSGeo Incubation Committee side of
      things.<br>
      <br>
      With regards to the question of quality of documentation of
      decision making processes, I do think this is important from an
      incubation perspective, and is related to having
      "institutionalized processes".<br>

           <br>
          About the documentation in Spanish/English, we are finishing
          the last translations of the user and developer documentation,
          and we will have the 100% of the gvSIG documentation in
          Spanish and English (and in Portuguese too). We also are
          finishing the migration of the old infrastructure
          (docs.gvsig.org) to the new one. In any case we take all the
          suggestions and improvements into account, that we will tackle
          as soon as possible. <br>
           <br>
          Anyway, the doubt that we have is if these suggestions are
          requirements for the incubation. We understand that they
          aren't requirements for the graduation, but we would like to
          confirm it. Mainly because the 11th International gvSIG
          Conference will be held soon, and we would like to announce
          the graduation previously. <br>
           <br>
          Thank you very much!<br>

            http-equiv="Content-Type">
          Hi Alvaro,<br>
          Sorry for the slow response.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks for your updated principles. I've just reviewed and
          here is my feedback:<br>
          <br>
          I think that you have captured the process of making technical
          decisions, which is good. However:<br>
          <br>
          * The documentation is in a wiki [1], and not presented in the
          same prominence as the rest of the gvsig documentation [2].
          I'd suggest that your processes should be moved out of the
          wiki, and into the same doc system as the rest of the docs,
          probably at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
            class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
            href="http://docs.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/docs/">http://docs.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/docs/</a><something><br>
          You might want to include the processes as another chapter in
          the existing Developers Guide.<br>
          A good example you could follow is the GeoServer docs page [3]
          which includes "Policies and Procedures".<br>
          <br>
          * The current text reads a bit like a news article, written
          from an outsider's point of view, describing how you have
          noticed that decisions are made. What would be better is
          writing an authoritative process which gvSig team members
          sometimes quote and refer to when making decisions. A news
          article becomes dated, a documented process should be useful
          for the community, and will get updated over time.<br>
          <br>
          * The text looks like it has been written by one person, and
          hasn't yet been reviewed by other core gvSig members. I'd
          suggest that you'd likely get good feedback from your internal
          gvSig community if you were to ask:<br>
          "Does this text accurately represent how we should make
          decisions in the future? Are we as a community prepared to use
          this documented process as a guide for our future decisions?"<br>
          <br>
          * I notice that much of the gvSig documentation is written in
          Spanish. I'm not sure, but it is possible you would get better
          feedback from your community if this document was written
          first in Spanish, and if desired, later translated to English.<br>
          <br>
          Sorry again for the delayed response, and also for giving you
          more homework. I do encourage you to keep going because I
          think it would be valuable for the gvsig community.<br>
          <br>
          Warm regards, Cameron<br>
