Okay, great! At the risk of straying from handwavy supportiveness into 
process-wanking, here's the start of a wiki page on what the impact
of, and on, the existing incubator guidelines/criteria would be:

Many of you have more experience of the incubation process for real
than me, please add thoughts to this. I see there's a Board meeting on
Friday which might be a good chance to chew on the idea - in the
abstract with OAM as an example and as a reason to make the effort.

Hope this is on the right track for you,
