    We've waited some days to answer in case somebody wanted to add
    anything. We suppose that the order members of OSGeo Incubation
    Committee agree with you, and that they aren't any other additional
    requirements. <br>

          You are right, writing style is not a graduation criteria, and
          I'd vote to pass a project with sub-optimal writing style if
          the rest of the processes are in order.<br>
          <br>
          "Institutionalized Processes which are documented and
          FOLLOWED" is a requirement. My concern is that the management
          processes as documented are probably not being followed, as
          they would be difficult to be found by the development team,
          and probably not trusted as they don't look to be of the
          quality of the rest of the gvsig project.<br>
          <br>
          Hence my recommendation to incorporate decision making
          documentation into the rest of gvsig documentation.<br>
          <br>
          If time to complete is an issue, there are some work around
          options which I think would be acceptable.<br>
          Such as putting a placeholder in your master documentation
          which references the wiki page where the core content is.
          (With an intent to move the rest of the docs later).<br>
          <br>
        </div>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    We finally have copied the contests directly in the documentation
    section (better than a placeholder):<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://docs.gvsig.org/plone/projects/gvsig-desktop/docs/about-technical-decisions/">http://docs.gvsig.org/plone/projects/gvsig-desktop/docs/about-technical-decisions/</a><br>
    <br>
    At this way all the contents are in the same site.<br>
    <br>
    In future, we'll migrate all the information to the new gvSIG
    website (I hope it will be in the next months). <br>
    <br>
    We understand that everything is ok to proceed to vote the
    graduation of gvSIG project.<br>
    <br>
    I would like to ask you  when it's planned to decide it. I don't
    know the procedure of OSGeo Incubation Committee from this point.<br>

                      <div>Hi Cameron, <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 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
                          href="http://docs.gvsig.org" target="_blank">docs.gvsig.org</a>)
                        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>

                      <blockquote type="cite"> 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"
                          href="http://docs.gvsig.org/web/projects/gvsig-desktop/docs/"
                          target="_blank">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>
