Moving on (was: Re: [Incubator] General gentle reminder to incubating projects)

[Arnulf Christl (OSGeo)]

Folks,
three weeks are (almost) over and there has been considerable progress
(which just went unnoticed because it was a bit hidden) on the two older
incubating projects (deegree, gvSIG) which is good. MetaCRS [1] and GEOS
[2] seems to be alive although I cannot see that much progress on
incubation. Especially with MetaCRS I am unsure on how progress will be
trackable at all because it is a meta project, maybe the Incubation
Process does not address this complex type well yet. Any thoughts?

>From what I can tell the OSGeo Incubation is an ongoing success,
especially looking at the queue [3] and more interest building up
(GeoServer wants to go for it) [4].

To move on we should start PostGIS incubation next but that will be
separate mail (I have to dig up what formal things need get done,
whether board vote is required etc.).

Best regards,
Arnulf.
