[Incubator] MapGuide ready to graduate?

[Daniel Morissette]

I believe the MapGuide project is about ready to graduate. Here is an 
update on MapGuide's incubation status, I would welcome feedback from 
the members of IncCom before making a formal proposal to graduate MapGuide.

The MapGuide Incubation Status document is available at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/MapGuide_Incubation_Status and the 
provenance review has been completed and can be found at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/MapGuide_Provenance_Review

Other than some minor issues to resolve with respect to the provenance 
review (probably not a blocker since I believe for instance Mapbender 
still had some open issues on that front at time of graduation), I 
believe the project has met most of the graduation criterias listed at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Project_Graduation_Checklist, except for 
#9, the automated build process which is currently internal at ADSK. The 
issue tracker is currently unavailable but this is temporary, they used 
the CN system before and are working to get setup on OSGeo's Trac server 
now.

As a mentor, I have witnessed that the MapGuide project has a healthy 
and active PSC (http://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html) and a good set of 
development guidelines and processes (see 
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/developer.html).

Mapguide also has a fairly active user community with about 400 members 
on the mapguide-users list and 120 members on mapguide-internals.

Are there other criterias that need to be addressed before we can 
propose MapGuide for graduation?
