Hi Paolo,

Even the founding projects of OSGeo (MapServer, GRASS, MapGuide, etc.) 
did go through incubation, so I think OSGeo4W should go through the same 
path. Since it is already handled by people who know "the OSGeo way" it 
will simply be faster and mostly a matter of running it agains the 
checklist. If its incubation can be completed in a few weeks then that's 
just better.

Daniel
