[Incubator] Re: renewed mentoring request [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Peter Baumann]

Paul & all-

thanks for the valuable hints! Actually, already earlier we have 
established the Incubator Application Questionnaire for provision to 
IncCom, today I have updated it. On request, we can either publish it on 
a dedicated section of the project website, to the list, etc.

Both the original application and http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/evaluation.html are useful places to start to prepare a summary of the project for IncCom.  IncCom looks for projects that are a good fit with OSGeo so make sure to point out where the project aligns well with OSGeo and what (if anything) will need to be adapted during the incubation process.  IncCom is also looking for projects that they expect to graduate from incubation, so check the incubation graduation criteria at http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html for any potential issues.
