[Incubator] Incubation Progress Page

[Mark Lucas]

Perhaps we should consolidation efforts on new areas where we can  
focus our already taxed resources vs. trying to move something that  
is already functioning well.  I suspect that most of the projects are  
similar in their focus and shortcomings, but I'll focus on ossim in  
case I'm wrong.

What works as it is:

mailing lists:
wiki - though I'd like to move to plone - I wouldn't mind moving  
towards a standardized look and feel
doxygen
cvs - though I'd like to move to svn if I can keep all of the history
bugzilla

what needs more work:
user support
quick start examples for developers and users
more bandwidth more storage for data sets and tutorials
more effective cross collaboration with other projects
automated builds
automated unit testing, regression testing
more formalized freeze, testing and release process
marketing

I've identified some external resources for high bandwidth, storage,  
and computational power that have offered to host if we need the  
resources.  I think we should focus on expanding with an external  
plone site, storage, bandwidth, and processing resources (will be  
good for the data consolidation efforts) and process where we can use  
help.  As we have done with the wiki, we should use collabnet as a  
portal where the internal resources are not available or there is no  
compelling reason to change.
