[Incubator] MapGuide incubation status?

[Daniel Morissette]

A few hours a week should not be a problem. You can count me as a 
potential candidate to fill the role of MapGuide mentor then. I may need 
a bit of input from other committee members at the beginning to get up 
to speed but that should not be a problem.
