<div>The incubation list is almost certainly not the best way :-) Each project is supposed to have a representative to the board as part of coming out of incubation, right? Have we kept that up? If not, we probably should...<br>

I suggest you go to the Wiki directly [1] and change what you think<br>
needs to be changed. It is a Wiki do-ocracy and I actually sort of<br>
expect you to propose changes directly.<br>
<br>
Maybe we should also include the incubation list - or what is the best<br>
way of getting a hold of all projects? Ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
