[Incubator] Wake up call

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi all,
Same for us I would say. We're about there, but are busy with getting  
a version 2.1 finished and that takes the attention. The incubation  
comes second until we finished the release I estimate. We moved to  
use the TRAC and moved the community website. We considered moving to  
the SVN, but with Arnulf's threat I'll reconsider that move ;-)
Ciao,
Jeroen
