[Incubator] Motion for FDO to graduate incubation

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi Daniel,
Going through the incubation page of FDO I notice that there are very  
few links to related pages (Web presence, SVN, bug tracker, project  
stats etc..). It would be good to see those pages linked here for  
quick reference.

I feel a the same about the "Yes" statements. A little more background  
would be useful so people do not have to browse through heaps of  
information themselves to extract that background.
For instance the "Have issues raised in the provenance review been  
adequately addressed?". It states "Yes" but there's no single  
indication what issues were resolved if any, and how they were resolved.

It would be nice to see where PSC members work. GRASS did that and I  
took that to heart myself as well for the GeoNetwork incubation process.

Ciao,
Jeroen
