Yes I agree that OSGeo-Live also provides a good framework for the
periodic review of projects beyond incubation.<br>
<br>
What we have on our side is:<br>
1. A periodic release schedule<br>
2. A valuable business driver which attracts projects to continue to
work on OSGeo-Live (namely the marketing value of each release)<br>
<br>
We do have the potential to <b>gradually</b> introduce review of
incubation criteria into the OSGeo-Live release cycle.<br>
