IncCom,
I've been following MapBuilder pretty closely too, and I have to say
that I am impressed with how they have incorporated regular IRC
meetings into their decision making process. I've observed several
of these and it is a very healthy community that works to serve the
needs of both the core contributors and the larger user community.
The project is stable and feature rich.
I'm a +1 on graduation
