<div dir="ltr">That is correct Alex, because "incubation" references a mentorship process that the development team is going through ... it has no reflection on the technology (or indeed on the teams progress).<div><br></div><div>The website has three categories:</div><div><br></div><div>- listed on the website at all - required to be geospatial, open source and accept contributions</div><div>- osgeo community - lists projects that are part of team osgeo, but have not completed incubation. required to be geospatial, open source and accept contirbutions.

</span>That seems to be the tag, that all other projects who have applied for<br>
incubation are under. I guess it's less clear on the new site which<br>
things are applying to become "Projects" and which are not, as some of<br>
the community projects have not applied for incubation.<br>
<br>
Cameron, where do you suggest OSGeo Live gets listed instead? It was<br>
added to community because it wasn't listed in either of the categories<br>
and therefore isn't shown on the navigation menus, so people may never<br>
find it...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
